“Ever since 2063, we simply drop a giant ice cube into the ocean every now and then. Of course, since the greenhouse gases are still building up it takes more and more ice each time. Thus, solving the problem once and for all.”
“But…”
“ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!”
just like Daddy puts in his drink every morning… and then he gets mad
That’s a pretty ominous name for a png file to be honest

WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY, GOODNIGHT.
That line never fails to make me chuckle
Once and for all!
This also causes the days to be longer. Moving all that ice from Haley’s Comet increased the mass of the Earth.
The ice caps are already falling into the ocean so we basically don’t have to do anything.
Well, great. World saved, let’s continue making profits.
Thanks anon now my country is fully underwater
It takes heat to make ice, and ice makers aren’t 100% efficient, therefore the amount of heat the ice maker is producing to make the ice will not only offset the coldness of the ice, but surpass it.
It’s simple, we import ice from outside the environment.
Unfortunately, dropping ice asteroids onto earth creates more heat from atmospheric friction.
The trick is to get it through the atmosphere at a really high speed. That way the plasma around it forms a protective layer, only ablating the outer most layer of ice. It also spends a very small amount of time in the atmosphere, so it doesn’t have time to heat up. Almost all the ice reaches the ground that way.
It’s also easier, instead of bringing a chunk of ice from the belt to Earth and slowing it down (which takes a lot of energy). You just need to redirect it’s orbit so it will land on Earth somewhere in the future. The bigger the piece the better it works, so we really need to find a big one.
To be fair, we should send several pieces of ice, timed to land on different parts of the planet. It’s kinda rude to have one part of the planet be cooled down and not other parts. If we space the landings 6 hours apart we could use the rotation of the Earth to make sure everyone has access to the cold ice. We’d only need 4 big chunks of ice.
Easy! It’s really just a matter of willpower to do so if you really think about it.
No asteroids for you, Mr. Apocalypse.

And after some million years future archaeologists will see a nice distinct black layer and be surprised how much it looks like the black layer that’s 65 million years older.
It needs to enter the atmosphere very slowly
You guys get all attached with your science theories. This is just pratical. We get the ice from the mexicans and drop in the ocean. Badabing-Badaboom. Easy as that.

Yeah, I really wish people would avoid using that phrase in general…
I don’t understand my negative ratio here. “‘The Final Solution’ or ‘the Final Solution to the Jewish Question’ was a Nazi plan for the genocide of individuals they defined as Jews during World War II.”
There are about 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water in our oceans. I found a neat little calculator to determine how many pounds of ice you’d need to cool water (okay pool water, not ocean water, good enough). The ocean surface temperature has increased about 1.5°F in the last hundred years, let’s reverse it!
[Ocean Vol] / 1000 × [Temp] × 4.375 = 213,937,500,000,0000,000 lbs of ice
Or 1,069,687,500,000,000 tons An enormous ice cube roughly 63 miles or 101km on each side. Super easy!
What if we just freeze a pile of ships or something that is equally bigger and then throw it in the ocean? Or we can freeze all the human waste (garbage) and use it as a giant ice cube.
Let’s redirect an ice comet into the ocean! Kind of like that movie Armageddon but in reverse! I’ll take my Nobel prize now.
That ice will just melt and increase the sea level by the tiniest amount
