Would it be possible to help slow down the effects of global warming by creating about 50-100 giant ice cube makers in the artic area. It would be like an ice machine found in fast food places, where it makes the ice on its own and drops into a huge bucket, except it would fall back into the ocean. Using solar panels and the water from the ocean, ppl could come to do maintenance on once a month, or monitor them from far. Huge corporations like Coke, McDonalds, etc, and factories that make lots of pollution and have fines to pay or what ever penalties they get could go towards the cost of building and maintaining and ice machine. This would not only help the polar bears and other wild life, but it would it would create jobs and it would probably be tax deducible not to mention good publicity for who ever participated in this.
So if someone out there has power and influence or knows of a way to make this a reality, please let me know, but if you just want the points and don’t really care take your points and move on.

Interesting idea. Not sure if it is possible.

what do you think, or how can you help?

i'd think it would take more energy to run those ice machines which would increase global warming even more. therefore the ice would just melt, probably faster than it is today since we would be adding to the problem with the giant icemakers. if there were no global warming then the ice would have stayed frozen to begin with no? the problem is in the atmosphere, not in the ice caps. those are just a by product of the problem. .

Global warming is due to holes made in the ozone layer due to pollution. To stop global warming or slow it down you need to cut down on the pollution itself and give the ozone time to heal. Ice machines in the artic wont do that. If anything, they'll just give the sun more ice to melt.
