Comparing Arctic Surface Albedo Modification Geoengineering Solutions

As global warming continues, the trend of rapidly declining arctic sea ice is expected to increase. The albedo effect, a regulatory process in earth’s climate, has become positive feedback loop under climate change conditions. Sea high albedo, reflecting sun’s energy. continuously melts, more energy absorbed, reducing and leading increasing temperatures that continue propel cycle. With concerns regarding effects change, focus turned towards geoengineering solutions, which employ human intervention slow or stop warming. Regarding decline ice, specific solutions lower are examined. One first was Arctic Ice Management (AIM), proposed use wind-driven pumps restore thickness melting ice. A recent proposal Glass Microsphere (GM) geoengineering, involved addition reflective glass spheres surface. Few studies have compared solutions; crucial step implementation. Using mixed methodology statistical content analyses, GM AIM surface modification were terms volume risk factors. Results suggest displays significantly higher capacity preserve increase volume, but also associated with number risks AIM. Further comparison two suggested, along implementation combine both mitigation strategies.
