Scientists Have a Plan to Freeze Water over Antartica for Stoping the Rising Sea Level

It seems that the latest idea to stop oceans rising in Antarctica is to freeze them. It may seem an outrageous decision, and a lot of water will need to be frozen. It does, however, appear that this is a possible task, and it seems that the time to do it is now.

There are fears that the water will still rise, even if it was possible to stop greenhouse gas emissions. There has been a calculation that has determined that there is going to be a 3-foot rise in sea level over the present, century and without finding a way to deal with this there will many people affected, especially for people living around the coast.

German and American scientists have used computers to see the effects of pumping water over the Antarctic ice sheet. If they could add water every two years, and pour in enough to fill the Great Salt Lake twice, the sea level could reduce by three feet as long as the procedure lasted for 100 years.

There are however a few issues as ongoing warming was not taken into account, and there has also been an ethical issue raised. This will not change the problem, just be a temporary solution and the new ice will just go the way of the old. There are also no reports of the effect there could be on the ecosystems. Whatever the decision is with regards to this, something has to be done – and quickly.
