| Abstract: | Real Ice, a U.K. company, is attempting to refreeze the disappearing sea ice in the Arctic Ocean to combat global warming. By thickening the ice, Real Ice aims to prevent the ice cap from disappearing entirely in summer, which could lead to a rise in global temperatures. The company's efforts involve using drones to pump seawater onto the ice, with the goal of preserving one million square kilometers of sea ice. However, the potential environmental impacts and effectiveness of this geoengineering approach remain uncertain. [Extracted from the article] |
