If planting more trees can replenish forests and remove carbon dioxidefrom the atmosphere, then could we also repopulate the Arctic with ice?That's a question posed by a team of Indonesian designers with an eye-catching response to the climate crisis: iceberg-making submarines.The idea, recently named runner-up in an international design competitionappealing for radical approaches to sustainability, is the latest in a series of new proposals for "refreezing" the Earth's poles -- from sprinkling them with artificial sand to blasting seawater into the sky to brighten the clouds.
Staten Island seawall: Designing for climate changeLed by 29-year-old architect Faris Rajak Kotahatuhaha, the group envisaged a submersible vessel capable of producing 16-foot-thick, 82-foot wide hexagonal icebergs.The process would begin with the submarine dipping beneath the surface to fill its central cavity with seawater. Salt would then be filtered out, raising water's freezing point by more than 3 degrees Fahrenheit, after which a hatch closes over the chamber to protect it from the sun.
All of her bogus rail systems which are spewing CO2 unnecessarily cause a lot of melted ice. We can refreeze it!
