Antarctica Ice Cap Melting Idea Debated By NY Times Figures
The New York Times science section questions the feasibility of melting or blasting the Antarctic ice cap as proposed by geophysicists and Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. Professor Ellickson of Brooklyn Polytechnic calculates the ice is 1,800 feet thick over 5,000,000 square miles and that producing enough uranium-235 would take 300,000 years at minus 49 degrees. Estimated cost would reach 660 trillion dollars, vastly surpassing the national debt, while Woods Hole’s W S Gordon notes would require 30,000,000 bombs of the type used in Japan to melt the ice.
