    Simple:

    1) Your freezer has an electric compressor in order to be cold. It generates heat, and isn't very efficient - so it is actually making more heat than it does cold - the only reason it works is because it is pumping the cold in and the heat out of a sealed chamber (unless you open the door). Depending on the model of freezer, for every ice cube you make, you could melt two.

    2) In order to supply your house with the power to run the freezer, you most likely have a coal-fired steam plant somewhere near your house (unless you live somewhere with hydroelectric or a nuclear power plant). It is already generating enough heat to melt every ice cube you make before you even factor in the heat generated by your freezers compressor.

    I hope this has been fun and educational. The human race is screwed unless they get their heads out of their azzes.

    ...Or just make one big air filter the size of a skyscraper...It's kinda sad to know our species and all the other sentient beings on this planet may not be around for more than a few hundred more years or less...We seem as a species to not understand the concept of global warming and the effect it will have on us all..
