If the Arctic ice is melted - Then you can Freeze it with Human Power

The progress of Global Warming is no longer apparent to anyone. It is also a well-known fact that abnormally warm days continue in the Arctic, and the Arctic ice is melting steadily. Because of that, by 2050 it is expected that the polar bear population will reduce by 30%. White ice reflects the sunlight. The rise of temperature will increase of ice seawater and change the density to the circulation of ocean currents. It is worried that if ice melts it will have a huge impact on the climate of the whole world.

Arizona State University researchers recently announcement a very breakthrough in Earth's Future. Even in the Arctic Ocean covered with thick ice, mild seawater is actually flowing in deep water. Therefore, if the temperate of sea water is forcibly pulled up to just below the sea ice which is from minus 35 to 40 degrees, the thickness of the ice will increase .

Specific proposals have also been made to realize it. Prepare to buy a wind turbine with a diameter of 6 m. It will let this drift everywhere in the Arctic Ocean. As the turbine blowing swirls swiftly the cold wind, it is explaining that it is possible to raise the sea ice and to increase the thickness of the ice .

In order to place a wind turbine buoy in the Arctic Ocean in the next year, it will be necessary to prepare the steel equivalent to the annual steelmaking in the whole country. But if you think about it globally, it will be a comprehensive step that can be covered with steel only 6% of the annual steelmaking amount worldwide.

In a paper published in the Earth's Future, it is explained as described above, although it is a project scale of several hundred billion dollars, it is stressed that it is not impossible at all. Even if the impossible is up to the Arctic Ocean throughout, set up a buoy to the 1% of the area, drifting on the sea the thickness of the ice the 1m even increase if it is possible, this until the ice that had melted under the influence of global warming for years I can get back to minutes as well .

At this time, except for this engineering method, there are no measures to save ice in the Arctic Ocean. We should never delay delivering such measures.

Hilairy Hartnett of Arizona State University who led the research team commented like this. Although measures already proposed for global warming countermeasures such as reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions are also important, realization is not an obstacle measures due to political factors and so on, the ice of the Arctic Ocean is protected by an immediate method It is being complained that it is necessary to do.

In the first place who is spending money for such a Mega Project, also fundamental problem that we facing. Maybe such approach is rather Realistic.
