I've been working on two geoenegineering concepts that will reduce the melting of polar ice caps and arctic ocean ice. One of them is to strategically seed clouds over the gulf stream and humboldt current to cool their surface water and to cool the air above them. They are a major source of heat driving the melting of the Greenland ice shelf and the polar cap. If the parts of those currents that are farthest from the shore are seeded, the effects on the coastal regions will be minimized; the continental climate wont be deprived of a lot of rain clouds necessary to keep rainfall normal.
