Ice shelf may break causing global folding!

---The Arctic Tundra located in Antarctica has found a MAJOR worldwide problem. The Ice Shelf surrounding us is melting at an alarming rate. Once this shelf cracks it will cause a huge icebreaker to float around the ocean. This doesn’t seem like a problem, but it is. This iceberg will melt in a period of 1-3 years. Once the iceburg melts many major costal cities will flood. This will cause many deaths and cause the earth to be 90% engulfed in water.
---Now an elite team of scientists and meteorologists have come up with a satellite to harden the shelf. What it will do is send super cool water down through a sort of like fountain and cause the shelf to harden. Once hard the shelf will go through these same presses every 5-10 years so we do not have this problem again. The name of the satellite is “ICE-SAT (1)”.
---This seems like it could solve the problem. But the Arctic Tundra is a new country and has not acquired enough funds. We are asking for donations. Remember this is a global problem. If this shelf breaks the world we know may not be here for much longer.

Money Goal: $1,000,000,000 USD

OOC: This is my first RP so any suggestions would be apprecitated.

Well if people will believe Ice-Sat, then maybe they will believe I own the Brooklyn bridge and have decided to sell it.

Pie-in-the-sky looney-tunes.

Everyone needs to stop driving vehicles, heating thier homes, and eating cows. Mmmmm, how about killing off a thousand million people, that will stop global warming.

Actually, water expands when it freezes because the structure of the crystals causes water to have a higher density as a liquid than as a solid :)
Just thought someone should point that out.

You're right, it's definitely a serious problem. And I'm not a very good swimmer. Someone better rescue Gilligan quick!!

Really its not an ice fountain. Its more of like a cold beam.
Donations would be great. The shelf is breaking.........

Boyfriendia is a very environmentally friendly nation. We are very tempted to invest if there is some way this technology could possibly be used for other (more profitable) purposes (Air conditioners, refrigerators, cold fusion ;) ...anything).

yet avoid paying for the original use of it to save the world :mad:

No, the environmentally friendly part means we would invest anyways...as much as may be needed. But commercial use of the technology could generate capital for future research.
