Like that's ever stopped us from doing things for profit?

Honestly, that's what's holding us back. Make climate repair profitable, and the climate will be fixed inside of a decade.

Dumping money/metal into the oceans cannot be made profitable. Even if it can, there's always going to be a more profitable use for that material.

Corn growth and other subsidies are profitable to the government, because the money comes back to them in lobbying/bribery.
