9. A huge dam could stop water flowing from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean. Very powerful turbines would pump cold water from the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and sea level in the Arctic Ocean would decrease, initiating inflow of warm Atlantic waters to the Arctic via Fram Strait and the Barents Sea. This warm water would melt sea ice and climate would warm up. (Andrey Proshutinsky)
