If the Arctic ice is so fragile, and if fossil fuel use might kill our grandchildren, should NASA deliberate break the ice with a massive fossil-fueled ship?

NASA - NASA Icebreaker Voyage To Probe Climate Change Impact On Arctic

ICESCAPE takes to sea onboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy, the United States' newest and most technologically advanced polar icebreaker. The Healy conducts a wide range of research activities, providing more than 4,200 square feet of scientific laboratory space. It is designed to break four-and-a-half feet of ice continuously at three knots and operate in temperatures as low as -50 degrees Fahrenheit.
