How did he do it?

Specifically, you'll see that no energy was removed from the earth system, just used in a way to cool water. That's the same thing as powering a freezer with electricity from solar paneling.

That's not the main point here. What we want, is to obtain energy from sources different from the carbon sources that have been locked underground for millions of years (fossil fuels), and avoid putting that carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2 or methane. either that, or find ways to keep that carbon from escaping into the atmosphere, at all.
I hope that was clear.

So yes, let's be like Mouchot, if possible.

why?

to slow global warming to at least a rate that allows nature to adapt, and avoid the acceleration of habitat destruction and ecosystem collapse.

what habitat destruction and ecosystem collapse?
every ecosystem on the planet is doing better now than it was when atmospheric CO2 levels were lower

More heat from the sun is dumped into a heatsink than it is removed from the water in the same way that the condenser coil from your fridge is more hot than the evaporator coil is cold.
If you wanted to cool the planet what you would actually do is cover the ocean in white or reflective coat.

so you're saying that if you used solar panels to male ice the sun would somehow know and decide to output more energy to compensate?

its not hidden very well

I think that's going off-topic already.
My comment regarding the OP's post was given.
Start a thread about that if you want to go at it.
