| Summary: | This paper describes several ways by which the adaptation and deployment of a single,relatively simple technology can be made to mitigate then possibly reverse runawayglobal warming. The adaptation required is to use floating, buoy-mounted windturbines to pump seawater onto sea ice, thereby creating deepening ice fields orlens/shield-shaped ice mountains around them. In seas shallower than a kilometre orso, these ice shields can be securely grounded on the seabed. They may also freezetogether in rows, arrays, or onto land. Their annual accumulation of ice on top can bemade to match, or exceed, that of any melting happening above and beneath. They canthus be made to cause selective glaciation in most polar and near polar regions that wechoose, provided the winter there remains cold enough to generate sea ice.
