One of the silliest things I have seen them doing is trying to refreeze parts of the tundra to stop oil pipeline issues. Literally trying to solve the issue they have a hand in causing.

But so long as it is profitable combined with globalized game theory of resources, this will continue far longer than seems rational.

>To safeguard the pipeline from possible collapse, the pipeline operator, Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, was granted permission earlier this year by the natural resources department to construct the passive cooling system to arrest the thaw of permafrost that is essential to locking the supports in the ground and keeping the slope from slumping or sliding. Alyeska is installing approximately 100 free-standing thermosyphons 40 to 60 feet into the ground. Construction is expected to take 120 days and will also include a three-foot layer of insulating wood chips atop the permafrost.
