Just one small problem, Ben. Where’s the heat from the condenser going to go?! FUCKING AQUAMAN?!?
They just sell it to the highest bidder. Who doesn’t like a little extra warmth?
We package it and send it to the moon. It’s cold on the moon.
ONCE AND FOR ALL!
It’s being cooled down by the ice.
We are going to bottle the heat and return it to the sun!
I think the purpose isn’t to directly cool the planet, but the ice has much higher reflectivity and absorbs less heat from the sun compared to the ocean.
If this thing can produce ice at a large enough scale, it could have a real effect. However that doesn’t solve the issue of those gaseous dudes beating up the escaping heat men and trapping them in.
Once and for all!
I wonder if they realize that, according to the laws of physics and thermodynamics, the amount of heat and energy they consume and put into the world in order to produce those ice blocks, actually exceeds the amount they’re removing. So making ice blocks might help in the short term, but in the long term, they might actually make it worse, if not for the arctic, than for other places on the planet. Unless they’re doing other stuff like planting trees, the best they could ever hope for is to simply break even; to cancel themselves out.
ONCE AND FOR ALL!
you’d have to source the ice from someplace cold. Like drop a comet on the pole or something.
The site says it’s an architecture journal so…
The ice isn’t to cool the water, the ice is to reflect most of the incoming light.
Sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate. Sea ice has a much brighter surface compared to many other Earth surfaces, particularly the surrounding ocean. The darker ocean reflects only 6 percent of the sun’s energy and absorbs the rest, while sea ice reflects 50 to 70 percent of the incoming energy.

Could it be that the change in reflectivity compensates that?
Life imitates Futurama
Just like Daddy puts in his drink every night.
And then he gets mad.
This sounds like one of those ideas on the level of “If we punch another hole in the ozone layer, the greenhouse gasses can escape!”
ooh I wanted to make something like this but use a hyper-reflective surface(that sends IR rays into space causing a net heat loss) to cool the water, I was more planning for it to be in warmer waters and “push” the water though a heat sink using tesla valves but those might not have been needed

-That won’t work.
-But why? Mom? Moooom! Why won’t it work? Moom!
Has some real “why doesn’t Tesla put an alternator on the wheels” energy
Bestagons will save us all.
Saw a study recently that placed refrigeration management as one of the most impactful things regarding climate change… pretty sure that doing it on a big scale is a horrible idea
Globa waba?
How many iceblocks to save the eart?
This is beautiful
