Geoengineering: Arctic Researchers Brave Dangerously Cold Temperatures to Save Melting Ice – Is It Worth the Risk?
Cambridge Bay, Canada – A team of scientists is conducting a daring experiment in the Arctic to combat global warming by thickening sea ice in an effort to slow its melting. This unconventional approach to geoengineering involves pumping seawater onto the frozen ocean surface to promote ice formation and reduce the absorption of sunlight by the dark ocean, which accelerates warming. The project, led by Dr. Shaun Fitzgerald of the University of Cambridge’s Centre for …
