Blue Sky Thinking

Mere scientists have suggested a technological remedy for the loss of Arctic sea ice, using wind power to pump water from below the surface. Such an enterprise would be on the scale of the Manhattan Project and might well entail the artificial creation of manufacturing jobs through big-government interference in the working of market forces, which might thereby become deflected from their inexorable benignity. Also, unlike the Manhattan Project, the potential of such an enterprise for killing large numbers of people in a rapid and convenient fashion would appear to be dubious at best. It's all very well to think big, but one must take into account what is humanly possible.
