Restoring Arctic sea ice with geoengineering to counter global warming.
The Arctic's sea ice is shrinking due to global warming and climate change. Less ice means less reflected heat, meaning more intense heatwaves worldwide.
A group of scientists proposed a simple solution to halting the rapid disappearance of Arctic sea ice, and restore the Arctic ice through pumping sea water on top of it in winter.
Artic ice serves as the world’s refrigerator by reflecting the sun’s heat back into space through its white ice sheets.
