I hadn't come across this organisation or their proposal before and a search of this site didn't find the name, so just in case anyone's not aware...
http://www.ice911.orgAccording to my understanding, an engineer alarmed by global warming set about trying to come up with a materials science solution to the amplifying feedback of melting ice and diminished albedo in the Arctic.
They've come up with a bright white environmentally friendly silicate "sand" that can be sprinkled over the ice, boosting its reflectivity. Apparently they've done field trials and it does indeed lead to the ice thickening more. They say their solution is cheap and scalable, and by applying a large scale solution to specific places in the Arctic, namely the Beaufort Gyre and the Fram Strait, they believe they can magnify the impact by minimising additional ice loss.
This sounds pretty feasible to me, and certainly one of the better solutions I've heard to try to reduce/reverse ice loss.
Had you already seen this? What are your opinions?
Seems worth a shot to me!
