Idea to make billions!

It might be illegal in the future, but its not illegal now...

The idea is to get scientists to calculate the exact spots that sea levels will rise to after all the ice melts on the earth. Then purchase as much land in those locations as possible for that will become valuable permanent beach front property. Then obtain a permit to build on the polar ice caps and import fuel and solar energy from all over the world to fuel a giant fire that speeds up the process of the melting. Then reap the benefits.

Yes it sounds ridiculous, yes it is mean, but yes it is profitable.

Actually its just a random idea - I claim no further ownership of this idea.

Ok, to do this you would really only be able to utilize two avenues:

1. See if Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and maybe one other multibillion dollar mogul will fund this as you will need so much overhead, permits, lawyers, scientists, and research it isn't even funny. Once they say no you can go to option two..

2. Put together this business plan and projections, bring it to Venture Capitalist firms and tell them you need their funding to manipulate the laws of nature and science, actively and maliciously speed up a global event that can risk millions of lives and the sheer harmony of natural life itself, and then when they don't want to back it, you can sell hats at a mall kiosk.

Wow, sorry. Not being mean just trying to point out the rediculousness of this idea.

Are you kidding me?
You could just use mind control to make these people do what you want.
Why pay them at all, lol....

Damn I'm so stupid...WAIT!

AJ- let's create mind controlling technology so that we don't need to do business because we can just have billionaires forward their money into our accounts! Don't tell anyone about this ok...who cares about it being on a public forum...anyone takes it...we can control them too!!

Wait, I have a better idea that will make billions.

the idea is to create a technology that will let you do number one and two without ever going to the restroom or stop doing what you were doing....

LOL. You probably wouldn't be alive to actually ever profit off it. Good luck.
