As ice sheets and glaciers continue to melt at unprecedented rates, scientists are exploring radical solutions to combat climate change. Bill Gates is backing a high-altitude experiment in solar geo-engineering, which involves creating a massive chemical cloud to cool the Earth, as reported in a 2019 CNBC segment. Meanwhile, a major environmental group is investing millions to investigate artificial cooling methods for the planet. In Greenland’s Ilulissat fjord, glaciologists have devised a bold plan to refreeze the Arctic and prevent sea-level rise. This plan, likened to the Manhattan Project, aims to save some of the world's most precarious glaciers.
As ice sheets melt faster and faster, some glaciologists are backing an audacious plan to avert sea-level rise, @andersen writes. Can they stop the Earth’s glaciers from tumbling into the sea? https://t.co/u2QHcJptDR https://t.co/oCHHz9dNhf
For our climate issue, I traveled to Greenland, and wrote about a wild Manhattan Project style plan to freeze the world's most precarious glaciers in place. gift link: https://t.co/WzyVavRVZA https://t.co/qZzVFCldvd
Glaciologists have warned for decades that glaciers and ice sheets are melting at alarming rates. @andersen traveled to Greenland’s Ilulissat fjord to report on what it would take to save the world’s biggest glaciers—and whether it’s too late: https://t.co/ias1bEltxH
