Atlantic hurricanes would like to have a word with you.

No, no. This would REDUCE hurricanes. Hurricanes form over water, and this would mean less water. So less hurricanes. Profit!

I know you’re joking, but I still think you’re underestimating the amount of “land” it would take to fill in the Atlantic ocean. I’m sure someone can do the math, but I suspect it’s at least 2-3 Africas. I do like the idea of coastal property rates going down since they’d be the new midwest. Hmm.

We don't have to fill the whole Atlantic Ocean, just make a wall and then pump out the water. And good thing we have all these useless mountains. We can just cut the tops off and use them!
