Going after climate change with renewable resources is geoengineering. We are trying to reverse the current trends of the climate with the solution that is least likely to fail. It is geoengineering. It is not a distraction. It's exactly what we are doing now. To convince the conspiracy theorists you could have used actual ice and water. The current is a good example for what was described. A timelapse of the actual process happening on a small scale would be a big help in strengthening the claims.

Honestly the idea of the sea curtain is not practical at all and might actually have opposite effects on the climate. The curtain would obstruct sea currents, which cycles the oceans. The ice in the poles act as an enormous refrigerator to cool down these sea currents, and having a curtain blocking that behavior might actually cause more heatwaves.

My bet is on the volcanoes deciding everything. There are 48 volcanoes in Antarctica and only 2 of them are active. Clearly if you put loads of pressure on top of a volcano (for example by covering the land with ice that is a couple of miles thick), then the land will be pressed down and the lava doesn't move much. So if suddenly there is less weight resting on top of the volcanoes to lava would be more free to move to the surface. When the lava makes it to the surface an enormous amount of ice will melt, resulting in a sudden increase in the amount of lava moving to the surface, and more ice melting. Also the ice hundreds of miles away from the volcano will be covered in black volcanic ash, so that ice will heat up in the summer sun shine. Also if you have lava heating water and there is suddenly a river of hot water traveling to the sea then everywhere between the volcano and the sea will experience ice melting. I think the volcanoes will win.

Where’s that energy going to come from?!! This is all to say we absolutely must put our strongest efforts into reducing burning fossil fuels first, and not let fossil fuel companies make you think we can just “offset” carbon emissions through carbon capture.

The curtain could stop 100m below the ice base and still do a good job of stopping water flow. The curtain could be at 100 km out from the ice edge base and still do a good job of stopping water flow provided that it's a fully-closed containment. A containment 100 km out from the ice edge base from sea bed to 200 m below surface would do a good job but 150m below the surface would be better and 100m below the surface would be better yet. The surface gets frozen at -1.8 degrees or lower in winter, it's the deepish water at 200 m to 800 m below the surface that's the warm water at -1 to 4 degrees and melts ice, not the top 200 m well-mixed surface water.

You are looking the subject from very narrow window. The answer is no! We can not stop ice melting because we have already missed the chance. Heat is very enough now for melting the permafrost. So more CH4 is entering into atmosphere. Albedo effect is decreasing by the melted ice from poles. So this is a chain reaction now. The scary part of ice melting is not sea rising. Instead, sea current! Sea currents are increasing and this makes the weather unstable. This is basics of thermodynamics. Once the heat increased more in 20 years, the remaining ice will not help for thermodynamics for sea currents. It will slow down and stop. Around 2050 +- 10 yrs sea current will almost stopped. Which means the weather (seasons) will stop! All stop! We can not do much from nowon. This will happen. We have lost the window. But we can clean the pollution from oceans and fossil particles from the atmosphere. Which means, if we lose the breathable air than we lost all. However we must (MUST) protect trees and phytoplankton!!!

Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for? In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look. It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world. We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet.

Land based ice melting is not a threat, if it is prove it with math. Most ice melted 14,000 years ago when the glacial period ended.

I realize how cynical this is of me to say but maybe it is a good thing the oceans are rising.. we are now at eight billion people worldwide and at our current stage of everything that is too many. Perhaps when we have solved clean energy for everyone and localized food production then the world may thrive with eight billion of us.

I wonder if the idea for geoengineering specifically from older generations is a form of guilt (or legacy securement), and thus the need to provide a quick fix for the younger generations

You know i had read that 87% of earth whole history, it didn’t have ice capes. So I guess the mear fact that human are here now and it seems we just are trying to keep it the same rather then changing naturally. Don’t get me wrong are carbon output is definitely one main issue among many. Just an interesting look. Another question I have is how much is adding to sea rise though I feel it would be low but still a small factor. Land reclaiming in the oceans and pumping water from aquifers underground adding to ocean lvls

You know i had read that 80% of earth whole history, oxygen levels were lower than 5% and there were no animals or plants. So it would be perfectly natural and irrelevant if we killed everything.

Funnily enough, I’m in full support of geoengineering activities like this because I was convinced by a video by Climate Adam (who’s narrating this video). In his other video, he talks about the insane cost to try to geoengineer another planet like mars vs applying that same money on earth. The result is that you get way more bang for your buck when you dedicate that money to earth geoengineering. I’ll edit in a minute with the title of his other video. Edit: it’s called “Mars won’t save us from Climate Change” P.S. The scientist Ella Gilbert here has her own channel called Dr Gilbz. Really great if you want to hear more about these specific ice sheet issues.

What about liquid nitrogen, release it under the base of the ice sheet where the melt is reducing contact with the seabed, is warming up the area and increasing the rate of ice melt. It is the same with Hurricane, if they require certain temperatures to maintain the storm release liquid nitrogen in the path/at the front of a Hurricane to stop it in it's tracks or reduce its severity. Money for jam for insurance companies I would of thought, spend $100000 on liquid nitrogen application and save millions in insurance claims.

Sounds like a Winner. My own better suggestion though is move the ice to the Moon where it's out of the way. Liquid nitrogen is a top-notch Backup Plan though.
