Ah yes the old archimedes trick. But tell me, there are 7 types of ice bound in the polar ice caps, for which type will his principle work? The clathrate structure changes with pressure and temp at which the ice was formed so all ice is definately not equal. I had a thought about the methane, perhaps it would be better to have it released as we could pipe it as the caps melt and use it for an energy source. I could put my new boat on gas . This just becomes more of a win win situation for me.
