I have an idea to protect the Arctic ice from melting

Roswell

The effects of the ice melting is already being felt. Polar bears at risk of extinction. Sea levels rising, floods causing millions of homes lost and all the economic and political chaos that causes.

So how about the world spends billions of pounds creating a kind of freezer that suspend above the Arctic ice and artificially lowers the temperature in that area. 

Also, areas where wildfires are becoming regular problems such as California and Australia - the same could be done there. Use giant machines to artificially lower the local temperature.

  • It is sort of already under-consideration, to actually terraform our existing planet. But most experts are still highly sceptical about it. Now (I'm most definitely NOT expert.) But think of it like this. If you buy a solar panel, you always have to factor in the amount of energy necessary for its creation. Now in my example, the energy necessary is probably just about justified; especially as they are now beginning to design panels that also work with non-visible solar radiation. Freezing equipment is still notoriously inefficient; especially when used in a non-enclosed space. This is why I have no intention of using air-con anytime soon. (It does nothing good for your respiratory health either.) there are quite a few of these terraforming projects under consideration. i saw one just last week that involved scattering glass fragments on the Greenland icecap. Most of the global-warming experts seem very unimpressed by this; and i imagine they have computer projections to back up their scepticism. But what do I know? i'm from Basildon!
