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.
