BBC Science and Nature has published a report today detailing the possibility of refreezing the sea around the North Pole, involving releasing several chemicals into the sky above it that makes white clouds. This brings hope and dismay for the people around the world, as the sea ice in the region were estimated to be molten by next year.
Initial reaction to this report was varied; several environmentalists are strongly urging the governments of Canada, Russia, United Kingdom, and USA to quickly capitalize on the new findings, whilst others have condemned the report, stating that releasing more chemicals into the atmosphere is contrary to the 'green' movement.
It is expected that various corporations around the world would be lobbying the nations surrounding the Arctic to let 'nature do its work', since the Northwest Passage, created by the melting of the sea ice, would be made permanent and year-round, thus making trans-Ocean shipping much cheaper.
The governments around the world remain silent on this matter, choosing to release no public statements for the time being.
