Because according to a paper just published in the journal, Earth’s Future, scientists may have an ingenious solution. It involves ten million pumps. The plan is to “refreeze” ten percent of the arctic ice cap by using giant wind-powered pumps to cover the existing caps with salty seawater.. When the seawater is sprayed on top of frozen ice and surrounde...
