How do you figure that not doing this would cause less sea level rise? The article states that proceeding with this plan might slow sea level rise to nearly one-third of its current rate: > To put that into context, removing that much seawater from the ocean would lower global sea level by about 2 millimeters per year. Current total sea level rise is a little over 3 millimeters per year, so it would be like nearly halting sea level rise… by bailing water out of the ocean. We can call that a bonus positive. On what grounds do you dispute this? I'm not saying you're wrong (I'm too uneducated in the relevant fields to know that), I'd just like to know your rationale?
