    Just one small problem, Ben. Where’s the heat from the condenser going to go?! FUCKING AQUAMAN?!?

      I think the purpose isn’t to directly cool the planet, but the ice has much higher reflectivity and absorbs less heat from the sun compared to the ocean.

      If this thing can produce ice at a large enough scale, it could have a real effect. However that doesn’t solve the issue of those gaseous dudes beating up the escaping heat men and trapping them in.

    Solving climate change with a digital tech demo hosted on a GoFundMe page is a worse idea than even comedy writers could come up with

      I’m guessing the goal is to convince a few people on the edge that we’ve already solved it, so they care less. Slowing down the movements progress ever so slightly.

    This sounds like one of those ideas on the level of “If we punch another hole in the ozone layer, the greenhouse gasses can escape!”

    Saw a study recently that placed refrigeration management as one of the most impactful things regarding climate change… pretty sure that doing it on a big scale is a horrible idea

      No, it’s not possible unless the heat is being transferred outside of Earth and that requires a ton of energy. Also Kyle Hill did a video where he did the math and the cube required would be over 30 km^3

        Oh, so I could just make a bunch of ice cubes in my fridge and throw them in the ocean! It would only take me the rest of life to make one of these at home!

    I think letting freon leak into the atmosphere was actually reversing global warming so Big Air Conditioner started making up lies about “CFCs”.
