To refreeze the #Arctic, it is necessary to stop its deliberate melting, which the Russians have been carrying out on an industrial scale since Soviet times to improve their climate and continue expanding their icebreaking and ice-melting capabilities. Nature would do the rest to get back to normal.

However, the question is how to stop the Russians, who formally control about 60 percent of the Arctic and, informally, the rest. Moreover, melting inland permafrost also. According to their Sovereign Climate Doctrine formalized in 2009, they are free to do whatever they wish to improve their climate inside their borders and waters, regardless of the damage they inflict on other countries.
The doctrine is de facto a covert declaration of #climate #war to the world. It serves the same goal as traditional war - expanding the living space of one state at the expense of other states, but without violating borders.
Russia's efforts to make 75 percent of its territory, which is occupied by permafrost and swamps due to the cold, livable would require increasing the global temperature by 2 to 3 percent. This would make most of the planet, especially the most developed countries with the most favorable climate, unlivable.
