The poles are warming several times faster than the global average, causing record smashing heatwaves that were reported earlier this year in both the Arctic and Antarctic. Melting ice and collapsing glaciers at high latitudes would accelerate sea level rise around the planet. Fortunately, refreezing the poles by reducing incoming sunlight would be both feasible and remarkably cheap, according to new research published today in Environmental Research Communications.
Scientists laid out a possible future program whereby high-flying jets would spray microscopic aerosol particles into the atmosphere at latitudes of 60 degrees north and south—roughly Anchorage and the southern tip of Patagonia. If injected at a height of 43,000 feet (above airliner cruising altitudes), these aerosols would slowly drift poleward, slightly shading the surface beneath. "There is widespread and sensible trepidation about deploying aerosols to cool the planet," notes lead author Wake Smith, "but if the risk/benefit equation were to pay off anywhere, it would be at the poles."
Particle injections would be performed seasonally in the long days of the local spring and early summer. The same fleet of jets could service both hemispheres, ferrying to the opposite pole with the change of seasons.

Here’s an idea: How about we just sit on our hands.
Junk science.
Much in the same vain as ‘the shield’ meant to block out sunlight in Highlander II........
You've done quite enough for the world in the past 3 years.
Take a breather.
Looks like Big Science is setting up for the next money making scam...
I think the average annual temperature at the south pole is -47 F.............How much more do they want to cool it?
But what about the Eskimos? Remember, we gotta consult the native people. They’re better than us ya know.

This isn't from the Bee?
Thats a big negatory! icksna on the olepa eezefra!
Yes and the public checkbook that “funds” these crazy grants given to universities to study stupid things like why is sugar sticky and the like.
Oh yes, one or a couple of scientists come up with some dumb and whacko idea and it lights up the internet like it has for the last few days. Give me strength. Yes, I know someone is going to tell me “You’re no fun” in their Paul Lynde voice.
Sounds like the “In Like Flint” Villains (Galaxy, Inc.) in the movie, the weather scientists who wanted to control the weather. Where is Derek Flint when you need him? Dead?
Idiots think they have it all figured out - just like injecting mRNA vaccines into your body. What could go wrong.?
But, no CFCs right. And who is gonna build the plant to freeze them? Not that they need any help freezing. “Why yes Virginia, there are total fidiots running things.” The ‘ stoopid’ is getting painful. 😵💫🐂💩
KMA. Sincerely, all Alaskans.
Or Matt Helm?
It’s all part and parcel of the 50 year old, trillion dollar global warming scam. We’ve spent that much and for what? Nada, zip, zero, zilch.
EVs hardest hit.
To determine what is optimum for the planet is far beyond our capabilities.
