Glass Beads That Prevent Artic Ice From Melting Into Doom

A thin layer of kinky glacial beads is believed to be a potential solution to the artic ice melting.

A group of Bay Area scientists and engineers say that spreading tiny glass beads across the major ice bodies of Earth would boost it’s surface reflectivity of sunlight to prevent melt and begin an overall cooling trend that creates more ice.

They are working as a nonprofit organization known as Ice911 Research, and on the task of preventing the doom of arctic ice melting to the point where the ocean no longer absorbs atmospheric heat to keep the planet from suddenly and rapidly sweltering in a firey hellscape by 2026 or something.

Making the surface of the arctic more reflective during the Spring and Summer would prevent the sea ice from absorbing as much heat and reduce melt. The strengthened ice layer could lead to cooler temperatures across the world.

“The climate modeling we have done shows we can build up significant ice coverage in the Arctic,” says Leslie Field, a lecturer in environmental engineering at Stanford University and Founder/CEO of Ice911.

“This becomes a very large, single lever on climate change that you can work on before you decarbonize the economy.”

The researchers working under Field have ran successful tests on ice-covered lakes in the Sierra Nevada, Minnesota, and Alaska. Their results were published in a peer-reviewed journal, Earth’s Future, showing their glacial beads created ice extra reflectivity and density.

The move now for Ice911 Research is to venture an arctic ocean that’s losing mass ice during the Summer months and land funds to test there.

The glass beads are composed of silicate, an industrial product. Each one is 35 micrometers in diameter and too big to cause respiratory issues in local wildlife. According to Ice911, harmful effects of the beads showed no ill effect when tested with minnows and birds, and evaluation of marine mammals is yet inconclusive.

Some science geeks worry that if the glacial bead plan to cool the artic ice is implemented that it could have adverse effects on the weather.

“It’s hard to know how the atmospheric circulation could change,” refutes Alice Duliver, a climate dweeb at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “There’s a whole lot we still don’t know about our climate. Pulling on strings here and there can have all kinds of unintended consequences.”

Even if we roll out the glacial beads and cool down Antarctica, it wouldn’t mean that the cause of the climate heating up would also chill out with it, we’d have to roll out the beads and figure that part out in addition to that to stabilize the oceans.
