yes this is a crazy idea and im betting 9 out of 10 people will try and make jokes about it, but anyways here it is. ice melting into the ocean is a problem, as it would flood a lot of land in the ocean with its 250 foot higher ocean increase.
in popular mechanics theres something in development to launch all sorts of things into space for astronauts and space construction for things like satelites. i forget exactly how it works entirely, but it looks like a giant spiral, and has something to do with magnets. anyways, the longer they make it the faster they can make the objects travel so they can shoot them into space. the blueprints for the one was expected to be made within the next 5 or 10 years and was powerful enough to shoot things into space, with speeds of 7 miles per second.
so my idea is this, someway to transport water to the tube constantly to be shot into space. i doubt water would make it as far so maybe a cheap way to contain it for the launch. just a crazy idea....
