New Jetty Plan to Divert Gulf Stream Backed by Scientists
Carroll L. Riker proposes a 200 mile ashphalt covered jetty from Cape Race across the Grand Bank to dam the Labrador current and redirect the Gulf Stream. He cites support from prominent scientists and a bill intro by Representative Calder for federal funding. He claims the plan would prevent icebergs and fogs, free the St. Lawrence corridor from ice, and boost Northern Hemisphere moisture and agriculture, with costs shared by several nations.
