sea levels?

Good question-

Many more icebergs falling into the sea will cause two things to happen - the sea-level will rise and the injection of freshwater could disrupt the ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream. You could save the beaches but what about the whole picture and global climate. Countries with territories inside the region's 30 million square km: Do you want to 'dredge' Canada, Bangladesh, Holland, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the US. We might have technology for it but how much could we spend for it? It is much easier to educate the society than sucking up the water. When the air full of CO2, it creates rain, too! Do you want to handle sea levels and rain at the same time?

What happens in this remote barren land has the potential to affect us all. Current lifestyles and staples foods will almost certainly change i.e fishing industry. But the open ocean may permit new opportunities for trade and agriculture. A bigger question is what it means for the rest of the planet. Ice reflects the Sun's radiation; water absorbs it. More water and less ice - a lower albedo - mean that the pace of warming could increase. It is not only we are trying to protect the beach front but the sea levels could distrupt overall ecology and weather system as a whole.

That would be a lot of sand to have to dredge. Think about it - if the sea level goes up by 1 inch that's servberal billion or trillion gallons - you'd have to dredgeup several Mt Everests to make it go back down.

if things were only that simple. How do you think we are going to get the whole world to participate in pulling sand out of the ocean and back onto the banks. We can't even get the world to do little things. Common sense is not common
