Global warming - We just need to hire some Dutch engineers.
God, sometimes the answer is SO simple.
Most of the Netherlands is reclaimed land.
Below sea level.

DIKES, baby!
We save Miami, Manhattan, Boston, etc.
No sweat.

1. Alternately we could all just drink more water
so that there isn't so much in the sea. Problem solved.

3. Or we could just make some really big freezers
and a long tube, icemaker style, and start rebuilding the polar ice caps cube by cube.

4. Between your two proposals, I think we have it whipped.
If we drink ice water it'll be even faster.

5. We just need more clouds. I know they rain, but then they stop being clouds.
As long as they stay clouds, they hold water and don't rain.

6. I like clouds.
I used to be very close to them.
I played in them.
Pilots get to do that.
It was fun.
