I don't know if anyone is researching this, but couldn't we manufacture stupidly large floating reflective tarps and start deploying them anywhere sea ice is melting? Seems like this would be a high benefit for relatively low cost.
- rb808 7y agoI'd think they'd work better at the equator to reflect the most heat.

- fouc 7y agoTropical countries would love to reduce the heat, it would massively help their economies.
- Dumblydorr 7y agoI believe we should start at the poles, as that would slow feedback loops there and save what little climate system we have. The poles are crucial holders of water in ice form, cooling those should be high priority.
- jefflombardjr 7y agoYeah! The Swiss are doing this on a much smaller scale: https://www.livescience.com/61951-swiss-glacier-blanket.html https://www.livescience.com/61951-swiss-glacier-blanket.html I would think floating tarps would seriously mess with the marine life though.
