Business Insider magazine recently published article on their science section about the innovative research work on seabed curtains and how this innovative solution can prevent the melting of icebergs.  

The article addresses the alarming degradation of Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, known as the Doomsday Glacier, and presents an audacious proposal to mitigate its melting. Scientists advocate for a 62-mile-long curtain in the ocean, aimed at blocking warm water from reaching the glacier's base and reducing its melt rate. Constructed from floating platforms with reflective material, the barrier would deflect heat. Despite logistical and environmental hurdles, experts deem this intervention crucial in the battle against climate change. Thwaites Glacier's stability is paramount, given the potential for its collapse to trigger substantial global flooding. This proposal underscores the pressing need for innovative solutions to address climate challenges and protect vulnerable regions like Antarctica.
