Geoengineering Explored as Ice Caps Melt at Alarming Rates

With ice caps melting faster than previously thought, scientists consider geoengineering to buy time while addressing fossil fuel consumption.

Since 1979, Arctic ice has shrunk by 1.35 million square miles, and Antarctic ice is at its lowest level since records began.
A new study highlights the severity of ice loss in Greenland, worse than previously estimated, threatening global sea levels.
Researchers propose geoengineering solutions, including solar radiation management and artificial ice generation, to slow polar melting.
Historical data from Antarctica shows rapid ice sheet retreats in the past, underscoring the urgency of addressing current melting trends.
Experts warn of the political and ecological challenges of geoengineering, emphasizing the need for global cooperation in climate change mitigation.
