Reply to comment by sledgehammer_77 in Runaway W. Antarctic ice sheet collapse not 'inevitable': study by EagleEyeStx

>Other suggestions have included constructing Eiffel Tower-sized columns on the seabed to prop it up from below, and a 100m-tall, 100-kilometre-long berm to block warm water flowing underneath.

Not really look at these great ideas, in addition how about the snow cannon one. I’m sure we can get started on constructing the Eiffel tower column’s right away. It’s "super easy, barely an inconvenience".

Non human animals and people who would rather save the planet over their wallet. "What's this we shit?"

How ironic that we would prop it up with jack stands.

Someone needs to retroactively change the futurama "dunk a giant ice cube into the arctic" joke to this.
