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.

  • There's a huge problem - energy cannot be destroyed so to cool one place, you have to move the energy away to somewhere else which will heat that place.     Also, the effort in moving the energy will also generate more heat so the net effect of trying to cool something is that you actually generate heating.
