Scientists have outlined a controversial plan to refreeze the North and South Poles, and dial down the global thermostat.
They say high-flying jets could spray microscopic aerosol particles into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and cool the melting icecaps.
Around 175,000 flights a year would be needed, releasing millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide.
But a former UK chief scientist backed the plans, telling Sky News that polar warming is now critical - and refreezing the ice could hold back the rise in global sea levels.
The new study was led by Wake Smith from Yale University in the United States.
He warned the plan would treat an important symptom of climate change, not the cause.
"It's aspirin, not penicillin. It's not a substitute for decarbonisation," he said.
Under the plan, a fleet of 125 military air-to-air refuelling tankers would release a cloud of microscopic sulphur dioxide particles at an altitude of 43,000ft (13km) and latitude of 60 degrees in both hemispheres, roughly equivalent to the Shetland Islands in the north, and the Falklands in the south.
The particles would slowly drift towards the poles on high-altitude winds, slightly shading the Earth's surface beneath.

I guess this will also explode the myth of acid rain?
Recall that it was “the science” that showed burning sulfr-coal in the Midwest emitted SO2 which generated acid rain in the NE.
Hyperbole
I guess you have never heard of the word or seen it being used. I have provided a link to a definition.

Wait...wut???
Both poles are completely thawed-out now?
When did this happen?
And, the seas didn’t rise?
“It’s not good to mess with Mother Nature.”
No real scientist said this. These are the machinations of mentally disturbed people.
I thought the Arctic has a record amount of ice
I remember a time when the term “Yale scientist” was met with respect — not laughter.
I even remember a time when a Yale degree was something to be proud of...
They don’t seem to realize the effects on the over-all weather patterns by doing this.
One would be the polar vortex. Not ready for another big freeze here in TX.
Polar bears and penguins killed by acid rain!!
Science must acidify the oceans and recreate the Great Dying to save the Earth.
let’s turn the poles into superfund cleanup sites...
some stoopid mofos out there.
What could possibly go wrong?
Or just wait for the average volcanic eruption which would spew more SO2 into the atmosphere than all the SO2 we ever produced, while saving a lot of money on all the evil fossil fuel for those 175K fights.
Leave Poland out of this.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WORNGGGGGGGGGG?...................
😜...........................
These are not scientists. These are crackpots.
This will end well
These people really are dangerous nuts.
