I don't see it being the bottom. The ocean is thousands of feet deep

Re- being able to make thicker ice in the Arctic - from the bottom, not the
top. Glad to see you were a decade or more ahead of me. Have you seen the
idea in print? I guess the many in use along the pipeline says it doesn’t
need further experimental proof. But some of

1. Most interesting. I own a solar thermal system with the same heat pipe
theory at work - and would have never carried it over to your Pine Island
example. This to answer your first question on my part. Thanks.
2. Adding John and Pete
I wonder if anyone has thought about stopping the Pine Island Glacier
by freezing it to bedrock?
What it would take is a number of thermal diodes. They were used on
the Alaskan pipeline to keep it from sinking over areas of permafrost.
All they are is a hole drilled to the bottom of the glacier,

Because this paper is behind a paywall, I can barely glean from their
figures that they may be looking at a fifty year time horizon. Did they look
at all at either SRM or CDR when using the term “irreversibility? (quotes in
the original - why?)
