As my partners said, The Arctic ice cap reaches its maximum extent every March and
over the next six months it dwindles. The low point is reached around mid-September
then the ice growth cycle restarts. However, the extent of regrowth began to be
insufficient towards the end of the last century. This is a direct consequence of heating
triggered by increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
To solve these problems that beset the poles, plenty of experts, scientists and
meteorologists have come up with peculiar solutions. I will make a broad outlook of
some of these possible results starting from the specific one to the general one.
Firstly, physicist Steven Desch is willing to replenish the shrinking sea ice by building
approximately 10 million wind-powered pumps over the Arctic ice cap. In winter, these
would be used to pour water to the surface of the ice where it would freeze, thickening
the cap which means longer- lasting ice. The idea is attractive and desirable however,
the price is not that gratifying, the price tag is 500 billion dollars.
At this point, the second solution suggested comes up to light: economy and money
invested. Al Gore, a climate advocate, forges the idea that if the government invested
the money spent on the Iraq War, the problem of the payment could be solved. Al gore
also endorses the idea of the inaccurate way the money is managed by claiming that the
government should settle a price on carbon so as reducing its consumption and
replacing taxation on employment, which was invented by Bismarck and some things
have changed since the 19th century.
Therefore, it is not enough to tell people to stop burning fossil fuels, some of the
possible solutions are addressed and they are scientifically possible, however there must
be a collective consciousness both in population, in general, and government
specifically.
