New research has discovered that proposals to cover Arctic sea ice with layers of hollow glass microspheres, around the thickness of one human hair, will actually accelerate the loss of sea ice.<\/h2>\n
It would also warm the climate, rather than creating thick ice and lowering the temperature, as researchers have claimed.<\/p>\n
Sea ice is of critical importance to Earth\u2019s climate, as it reflects the majority of the Sun\u2019s energy back to space. It also helps to regulate ocean and air temperatures, and influences ocean circulation.<\/p>\n
