Screw with the Atlantic current at least temporarily while they are doing it? What would be the consequences of it?

might well have many ecological effects that we do not yet understand, perhaps to the point of disrupting ocean food chains or causing the the methane hydrates at the oceans bottom to melt and release significant more methane into the atmosphere.

A sufficient bubble curtain rising through the ocean depths could cause ships that stray over their "mile long" curtain to actually sink abruptly, not to mention smaller craft.

We need to fully understand these technologies before we treat the earth as a gigantic test tube. Something we didn't do before turning to fossil fuels to power our technology.

We should try to change our habits since this is caused by people who fight any mention of climate change. Rich people with their lies that they are ecologically friendly while they destroy the earth .
They don’t care about the planet or it’s people, they only care about hoarding more money.
