Can massive geoengineering projects stem the worst effects of climate change in the Arctic?
Reductions to emissions might not be enough to halt catastrophic climate change. Is there enough political will to try geoengineering?
In 2016 an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Arizona State University suggested as a means to combat global warming that millions of windmills be erected in the Arctic Ocean. These mills would drive pumps that would lift seawater onto the remaining Arctic sea ice where it would turn into new ice that would help restore the power of the Arctic sea ice to reflect solar radiation.
