Consequences of polar icecap melting under an anti-sun scenario

Determine the environmental and Earth-system consequences that follow from polar icecaps melting into the ocean due to increased gamma-ray energy deposition at high latitudes produced by annihilation of antimatter solar wind in the anti-sun scenario.

Background

In the proposed anti-sun scenario, half a kilogram per second of antimatter solar wind would annihilate with Earth's atmosphere, generating intense gamma radiation concentrated near the poles. The authors argue this added energy would disrupt thermal equilibrium and melt the polar icecaps into the ocean, but explicitly state they do not know the subsequent outcomes, highlighting an unresolved question about downstream ecological and climatic effects.
