What? Did you read the article? That's not even close to the plan mentioned.
- nonbel 10y agoJust now I did, it says the new plan is: "building 10 million wind-powered pumps over the Arctic ice cap. In winter, these would be used to pump water to the surface of the ice where it would freeze, thickening the cap."
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoWouldn't that be salt water? Would it actually freeze at all?
- oppositelock 10y agoIt freezes just fine, just at a lower temperature of -2C.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoI wonder why the polar oceans don't freeze solid?
- mustntmumble 10y agoBecause ice floats to the top of the water, and insulates the water remaining down below beneath the ice.
- Steel_Phoenix 10y agoA proposal to salt the Arctic in order to lower the melting temperature wouldn't get much support, but it seems like it's also a valid description of the plan.
