Instead of wasting this nonsense in one-of posts yo /sci/, you should make them into Troll Physics images and post them on /n/, so your wit can be immortal.

Republicans have all this under control.
The plan is to have Jeff Sessions and
Ted Cruz's dad stand at the shoreline
with bibles in hand. As the sky
darkens and the water rises they will
raise their left hand holding the bible
and command the Seas to settle, and if
that fails, plan B is to run like hell
and to blame Obama.

Actually I just calculated the minimum theoretical cost of pumping the world oceans 1m lower, by pumping the water up to a 500m height, and at 55$/MWh and 100% pumping efficiency it costs a mere $27 trillion.

That does sound like a lot but it's really not that much, the biggest problem is finding where the hell to put all this water. Maybe Australia or Africa could keep it trapped for long enough.
