- danger of ultimate destruction of ecosystem that keeps us alive (same problem with algae seeding to enhance CO2 intake)

- you mean heating up ice faster?

- the main incentive is to fake savings while emitting more, how do you beat that?

- better do these with empty ships and do not believe for one moment that more will not be spent to track you down, making it counterproductive

- didn't work then, won't work now

> you mean heating up ice faster?

No, the idea in the book is to reduce/stop glacial motion (which is what causes friction and increases glacial temperatures) by pumping out the layer of water below glaciers (i.e. remove the cushion that prevents friction from actually stopping the glacier's movement).
