DESCRIPTION:Engineering has changed the world. But global temperatures are
  rising due to human action and emissions reduction is not sufficient to p
 rotect vulnerable people and places from the worst effects of climate chan
 ge. What if engineering could help cool the planet?\n\n🌍 The loss of Ar
 ctic sea ice is a global issue. The bright white ice reflects solar radiat
 ion back into space\, cooling the planet\; as it gets warmer\, the reflect
 ive ice is replaced by dark ocean water and cooling effect is diminished. 
 It’s a vicious loop - global warming accelerates melting\, and the melti
 ng accelerates global warming.\n\nOver the past few decades\, the Arctic h
 as experienced unprecedented rates of warming\, nearly three times the glo
 bal average. This rapid warming has led to significant reductions in sea i
 ce extent and thickness\, with dire consequences not only for the Arctic e
 cosystem but for global climate stability.\n\n🧊 What if we could make m
 ore ice? This is a big question researchers at the University of Cambridge
 \, along with Real Ice\, are hoping to answer. Join us on 27 February at 1
 pm to hear from engineers who spent time in the Arctic this month testing 
 solutions to a warming Arctic.\n\n*Engineering for the Climate\, a seminar
  series from University of Cambridge and Centre for Climate Repair. \nLR4\
