It's certainly possible that building an appropriate dam across the Bering Strait might help with the current although it might make global warming worse. One might imagine, a combination of various measures to engineer the earth's climate, as discussed by von Neumann.
8:48 Engineering the earth's climate may become desirable at some point. I agree the Bering Strait dam would have significant problems, as a warming of the arctic would release methane hydrates accelerating global warming. It might have a variety of other adverse effects as well, for example it could harm polar bears. I am also not sure whether it would address the problem with the current . Maybe modulating the amount of water let through could net out positive effects.

No it's not.
