Daring conservation effeort in Arctic region 

 There is a daring experiment to save Arctic sea-ice by thickening it with saltwater pumped onto its surface. This approach, part of geoengineering efforts, aims to counteract global warming by reflecting more sunlight. While some scientists warn of potential risks and distractions from cutting carbon emissions, advocates argue for exploring all options. Yet, scaling the project faces logistical challenges, and many remain skeptical of its effectiveness and broader implications. Despite uncertainties, researchers stress the need for diverse solutions alongside carbon emission reductions to address Arctic ice loss and climate change.
