A method normally used to create ice-skating rinks is now coming to the rescue of melting sea ice in the Arctic. Since satellite records began in 1979, summer Arctic sea ice has shrunk by around 13% per decade. Could making more ice be a potential solution to this issue?
WSJ got exclusive access to follow the team trialing the technology in the Arctic island of Svalbard, one of the coldest inhabited places in the world.

Where is rothchild island on the map
Crazy because it is the exact solition I wrote up decades ago as a teenager.
To pump water atop of the ice.
Um what happen to let nature take its course. A shame.
I’m working on solving this also, refreezing Antarctica.
This is crazy!! You can't stop change.

Interesting, perhaps as a small part of dealing with climate change, but it is treating a consequence, not a cause. Better to remedy the causes.
Well this is good news
Because nothing has ever gone wrong when humans decide to interfere with nature.
Idiots climate change is, was, and will always be completely normal.
Just because the world isn't the same as it was when you were a child isn't reason enough to cause another catastrophe – culling the elephant herds in Africa to deter poaching ( that one was just a brilliant idea)
Cane toad, and rabbits in Australia.
The pigs, rats, and dogs that did in the dodo.
You need to learn to leave well enough alone
Oil companies should be forced to pay every cent they’ve ever made towards cooling the earth. They caused global warming.
Good thinking actually
And don’t 95% of these ideas require producing (polluting the air and land space) a large amount of specific products to make this happen? Just long form money laundering for infants. You guys are seriously making this funnier. Wall Street Journal is a tad bit of a joke. Take the world for babies and produce a message enough and people will believe it. Which makes them money. Stop listening to this propaganda. It’s for the profit of the rich
If this works, its effect will be minimal. What happens in a certain place on Earth has something to do with what happened thousands of miles away from that place. It means the best way to make the poles colder is by making the middle region greener. So humanity must stop developing natural forests and habitats for industrial and commercial use. This also means that humanity must control its population. This also greatly means that humanity must preserve the natural environment and the lives of animals because animals play a very crucial role in balancing climate. They belong to the chain of balance of this planet so they know better while what humanity does is destruction. No amount of technical feat can make the climate better than simply preserving the animal lives and the natural environment. In short, we must respect them.
Wouldn’t it be better to do this at night like right at duck when it’s coldest?
Well if you stop russia china and india from dumping raw carbon into the atmosphere it would help alot
Stupid
There is too much political interest in arctic waterways. These projects will only be thwarted
natural earth cycles.
The science is clear, global warming is out of control no matter the cause. Could triggering volcanic eruption reduce temps?
There’s no political will to do this?
Very nice idea, but it will never work. Scale is too small, and then you got a fossil fuel machine being used in the whole process? Come on… #smdh
Salinity fail, cost fail, increasing temperature differential fail. Carbon capture is necessary.
Donald Trump does NOT believe in climate change.
Instead of fixing the. Ain problem……they are doing the 0ther wY 😅😅😅foryou.
Why not create a giant umbrella and block the sun..
Hope this really works
It’s going to be costly but the alternative is worse thank you to those trying to help
Its a bit silly. Instead they should be on antarctica to pump the water from beneath the gaciers that acts as a lubricant… pumping in the arctic is like pissing in the ocean…
