Innovative Arctic Refreezing Efforts Show Promise Amid Risks

A UK start-up, Real Ice, is conducting a controversial geo-engineering project in the Canadian Arctic to thicken sea ice by pumping seawater onto the surface to freeze. The initiative aims to cover over 386,000 square miles to combat summer ice loss and address climate change. While some experts criticize the method as unproven and risky, Real Ice argues it mimics natural processes and offers a crucial opportunity to protect the Arctic ecosystem amid insufficient global climate action.
