This morning I had an idea... an epiphany of sorts.
One of the biggest problems with global warming (regardless of what causes it) is that ocean levels will rise and low lying areas and islands may get swamped and become unlivable.
Another issue in the last 60 years or so is the (now) unnecessary stockpiling of nuclear weapons.
The largest nuke ever set off by the US was a 5 megaton explosive. This test was done underground in a remote part of Alaska and was the main reason Greenpeace was founded (I'm sure, they wouldn't approve my plan either). One of the effects of that test was that the land mass above the explosion was permanently raised 20 feet or so. Hmm... maybe I'm not remembering that figure right. It seems awfully high. Maybe I should look it up again. At any rate the land was permanently raised. Soo... we could solve both problems by "boosting" those low lying areas using the excess (or all) of the nuclear weapons in various country's arsenals.
If those low lying countries don't like the idea we can use the nukes to blow some very large holes somewhere to drain excess water into.
Well, if it weren't nuclear fallout and other eco damage it'd work I tells ya, It'd work.
