i only want to lower the ocean by about 200 feet that would free up alot of land...It would solve so many problems... earth over population, icecaps meltingsand flooding the earth, beach overcrowding, florida sinking, hurricanes in new orleans, venice sinking, plus i will claim all the new beach front property as my own, and put a toll booth on the new alaskan land bridge to russia! i'll pay off my super pump and be rich! comments?? you can leave give one reason its a bad idea for every two reasons its a great idea. AND Mass changes don't effect motion of free falling object ie: orbit of the earth! p.s. props to anyone who can come up with a way to fix the negative problems people come up with to bust the idea and future sponsering of my idea...

Let's see... 7 good reasons (for the world, not counting good things for you only). So, I must provide 3.5 bad reasons. Since there is no such thing as a half a bad reason, I must provide 3 bad reasons:
1)It requires billions of dollars.
2)You must pump the water out to greater than escape velocity.
3)There is A LOT of water in 200 ft of the ocean.

Good idea. But I don't see the profit in it. Why not just bust up the ice caps and sell the ice? There is a market for ice, but salt water is only good for making taffy. Then harvest all the new snow and make snow cones. Eventually the water level will go down, and you will have a steady cash flow through the whole process, instead of just at the end.

I got a better idea, that also involves pumping. Pump a shotgun and put it under your chin. Then, "pull" the trigger. That will do much more good for the world.

Uhhh... where are you going to pump all that water to? When you have that problem solved, post again.
