  • @johnwang9914

    Except salt water has a lower eutectic point so it has a lower freezing/melting point. You would need colder temperatures and the ice would melt at a lower temperature and hence be more vulnerable to melting till it has been around for a few years during which the salt would settle out of the ice and as the seawater is freezing, it lowers the albedo hence absorbs more heat from solar radiation than reflective ice does so having pools on top of existing ice only hastens the overall melting of the ice even if the pools freeze which requires the weather to be and remain cold enough. Remember, we salt our roads to melt road ice and snow. Pools of water on top of glaciers has been shown to accelerate the melting of glaciers and the second generation of ice houses was the realization that draining the melt water and dehumidifying the air helped preserve the remaining ice so the second generation of ice houses not only had racks allowing the melt water to drain off the ice but were vented to dehumidify the air even though this would be with hot air from the environment. Refreezing seawater on top of existing sea ice is just fundamentally wrong and would accelerate overall melting just as surface water pools do with glaciers and with salting de-ices roads. This idea is little different from saying HHO can improve fuel efficiency in gasoline cars, people may be convinced it helps but only due to a lack of scientific comprehension, water on ice may freeze but only by melting the ice more.

      @@megasbaladoros Even if it worked, geoengineering needs to be on a massive scale so a profitable business model must underwrite it and this concept has no underlying business model. Geoengineering efforts such as using high sulfur fuels with passenger airliners and with ocean cargo ships have a chance of reaching the scales needed and the acid rain concerns of the 70's and the global dimming effects studied after 911 and Marine tracks of cloud vapours show that they do scale up quite effectively but geoengineering efforts such as refreezing sea ice, spraying sea water into the air to promote cloud formations and raising the albedo of glaciers (which does work temporarily in one study but they used white plastic film which later got covered with dirty low albedo snow and dust) simply can't ride on the coat tails of successful business models. Just changing fuels to high sulfur fuels actually lowers the costs of existing the airlines and shipping models by lowering fuel costs so those geoengineering efforts fund themselves (though they have other economic externality costs such as acid rain that we all pay for outside the economic model).

    The pumped water will just move heat from below the ice to above the ice. Where there is already ice you may make it thicker but where the ice is aready gone this obviously cannot work.

    What happens to the salt then?
    The salt is an agent that helps ice to melt. Normal sea ice has no salt. But if you pump sea water on top of ice and let it freeze, then the salt will be trapped there, and once it is a little warmer, i.e. in the warm season, the ice will melt more easily than it would if it were salt free.
    So the end result would be the opposite of what they are trying to do. The minimum extent of ice, in the end of summer, will be smaller.
