What If We Could Refreeze the Arctic?

The Arctic might soon become completely ice-free. And when all of the ice is gone, the world won't be the same. And while politics seems to keep failing to reach a consensus on how to act, the only way to save the ice may be to intervene directly. We look at radical geoengineering proposals that aim to do just that. We could bring the ice back to the Arctic with the help of huge wind-powered water pumps, we could help the young Arctic ice reflect more sunlight by covering it with small, shiny silica microspheres or try cutting off the Sun's rays by creating more clouds. But would the cost be worth it?

[@fallencolossi]

[@rogueascendant6611]

Let just say mankind is a stubborn piece of sh*t. Even for me I don't resent that. We could entirely fix the problem but our innate nature as being a selfish and greedy species is not easily to be tempted down. If you look at statistics, least than 70-80% are ok what they have and some annoyed if changes to come. Only 10-20% are willing to help reclaimed the world once it was. But anyway fixing the world would eventually happen. Not by us but the world itself once we're gone or moved to another planet. Earth itself is capable healing. I mean over a couple of times this planet faced extinction level event way before apes walk on the surface.

Great idea!! The real problem is venting out all the heat the giant refrigerator creates to outer space.

[@elektrogamer-roblox8717]

GuruOnNet bad idea Because the heat it would generate wont help

What if you pour gallons of liquid nitrogen in the artic

[@gangstarvegasfan7089]

Even Mr What if stuttered when saying the price tag of 500 billion dollars.

This reminds of a book I read in elementary school in the 90s, the wump world. Mind you this book was written in the 70s. And it makes more sense now then ever .

breaks my heart 💔😥 I wish I had money to have power over all this

What if there was no what If

[@l3ny867]

You wouldnt watch what if

[@saliyalokeshwara7055]

I was happy that some organization was taking steps into actually doing this (don't know the scientific basis). Then I saw it was a what if video

[@ashmitakunwar8624]

You know. I was kinda getting bored until this guy finally told what this video actually was made for. Nice work what if

What if humans could breathe under water

We can breathe under water

More direct question: Does the locational (non-magnetic) North Pole still have solid ice? Like, is it still physically possible to stand on the North Pole if you could travel there?

[@candycassy2641]

What if we could refreeze the artic? WHERE IS MY SUPERSUIT??!!!

[@mykolas3411]

It is very sad what is happening with this world and it is all our fault

[@jarucium1299]

its only the fault of the rich, they are racing to be number 1 of a dying world the poor cant do shit

[@markrios3256]

The world had no global temperature rises until the industrial revolution happened! since then it’s just got warmer and yeah that was the beginning of the doom to come for us

[@dylanmartin7604]

@@markrios3256 yh because you know, we came out off the ice age magically now.

People : how do we leave earth What if : i don't know about that .. but maybe we should re freeze arctic

[@ThatAwkwardPause]

I'm not crying...you are!!

[@AnkitRai98]

What if we could eat and breath at same time...

[@glorifiedtoasterwithlegs2294]

Wait we can't?!?

[@wiljoy435]

🤣

[@hackdog1258]

Well they can be free if people want to save earth

[@ilyPath]

Unfortunately nothing is free in this world, or any world. After all people need to eat and all the effort and energy going into the project needs to be subsidized somehow.

[@vishalgoel360]

Can u plz make a video if artic melts completely than which cities/countries will be under first?

[@shabbirsb87]

Changes have started showing up, it's high time we must think of something.

[@benblack9484]

Either way, something needs to be done.

[@alexangus6604]

Video suggestion: What if the moon had a moon? Like so he can see

[@WhatIfScienceShow]

Thanks for the idea!

[@jenifergarcia327]

this is so much more relevant now that there are flowers in the arctic

[@mrmister1657]

Well we have refrigerators right? Maybe we can create like giant “freezers” but obviously upgraded by a ton, that can help, as good tech as we have we’ll definitely get there eventually

[@chichan9013]

Or...maybe let's not fight nature and just plant more trees for a fresher and cooler air?

[@rijankarki2332]

I'm just 13 but I've planted 3 trees and i will be planting more.....

[@christinasherwood6836]

What if: we used liquid nitrogen to refreeze the artic?

[@043-shaikhfaazilmirza7]

Can you make a what if on 'if we never brought change to earth' ? (Please)

[@finalbossoftheinternet6002]

The sun will go from main sequence to red giant and then explode anyway.
