hilarious "solution” to permafrost melt

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

the engineers devise an insulation system — a thick layer of crushed rock over the permafrost.

LiveScience.com - Surprising Side Effects of Global Warming

How incredibly ridiculous to imagine this is any kind of good solution.  It may keep the ground frozen for a bit, but certainly not for a particularly long time, and it definitely doesn’t solve the second-basic issue (*) the ground is shifting!

(*) right after the basic issue of global warming

Why not put the tracks on a solid surface of concrete so the ground can shift underneath and the concrete will keep the tracks straight.  Little sensors can tell where the ground is subsiding so they can be re-supported.

Yes, I know, I am an armchair engineering genius!
