At least they’re hexagons, which I approve of on general principles
bestagons
that seems thermodynamically dubious
To be fair, I think the idea would be to change the albedo of Earth so that more sunlight is reflected back into space. But it would need to reflect more light/heat than it produces in waste heat for the refrigeration, who wants to do the math?
Not just the waste heat from the refrigeration, but also the warming from the carbon emitted running the refrigeration and running the ships, plus the waste heat from desalinating the water.
The idea is from an architectural design contest, not any kind of actual climate scientist. ABC news went and asked an actual climate scientist about it:
“It’s like trying to save the sand castle you built at the beach using a dixie cup as the tide comes in,” Michael Mann, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Penn State, said of the iceberg-making proposal.
And thus the problem of Global Warming was solved once and for all.
But that-
ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Wait, what about the energy that takes to make the ice?
You just use the ice around to freeze more water. Unlimited ice babyyyy /s
It just builds it’s own job security.
well yeah, they’re the bestagons.
I wonder if this submarine can find the titanic
This really is the stupidest timeline
this’ll make one hell of a game of Heroscape
At this rate, this will be the only viable solution
Thus solving the problem once and for all
Once and for all!
tbf this would increase earth’s albedo and reflect more light into space
