Russia would have an epileptic wargasm if it could control Greenland. Why hasn't Russia bought Greenland? Is it because Denmark is a NATO country, and would never sell to Russia? Ok.
If Greenland were part of a country where Russia had more influence, Russia's agenda could be advanced more realistically.

It's been going on for decades because people have been educated for decades to behave in ways that enable the problem to happen. I'd argue that if people can be educated to be selfish or indifferent or apathetic at the expense of the environment, then they can similarly be educated to think and act in ways that benefit the environment. A little empathy and compassion is contagious and can go a long way towards changing the collective mindset of a culture.
I'm not saying that you couldn't engineer a solution that would mitigate some of the effects of the current damage, but to me it smacks of treating symptoms while they're still being generated. And unintended consequences are a thing.
Sure, you could engineer a way to precipitate urine out of water, but seriously, just get everyone to stop pissing in the fucking pool already. Convince some people that it's bad, and get them to spread the word.
Where are the calculations that go with a calculated risk?
