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.

Have SpaceX put large mylar reflectors into orbit. For a few Billion dollars you could engineer a new ice age.
Stupid people with an agenda that might kill us all in the end
Scientist have all gone insane!
There is no such thing as “man made climate change” and yet they all get on the bandwagon and do research to prove the lie.
Could it be the money they get for doing these research?
I can disprove the lie without a fancy degree or money for research. Just look at the changes in the earth’s climate over the past billion years.
There are records of ice ages and then warming and then ice age and then warming. Man caused none of this. Want to blame someone (or something) blame the sun (and the moon) as well as earth’s own action in drifting plates, volcanoes, fires, earthquakes, floods, and so on).
One thing I have learned over the years is that the “cure” is often worse then the problem.
Currently we are facing a decline in living standards (perhaps for the first time since the industrial revolution) all in the name of “climate change”.
If every human on earth today suddenly vanished the earth would continue and the climate would still change.
Something stinks about this proposal.
Sounds like an evil plot from a James Bond novel.
Government scientists are scientists that can't get jobs in academia or industry.
If the “science” world can’t even do the math on what an x chromosome and a y chromosome equal, what else can they completely screw up?
“Let’s see, the Sulphur Dioxide will spread across the Globe, you know, Jet streams and “polar vortexes..”
Exactly, do they actually think it is going to stay there?
hehehe true that.
Exactly! You can bet they’ll screw that up majorly if they do that.
Yep! At least they could try it on somebody else's planet first...say maybe planet Remulakor something.
The scientists of today are the
high school drop outs of yesterday
It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
Have they?
Really?
they all get on the bandwagon
Do they?
Really?
How many actual working scientists have you ever met in your entire life?
Your knee jerk judgment is based solely on leftist propaganda in Big Media. It reflects badly on you.
So chemtrails are real.
I thought Antartica was enjoying record low temperatures now!
Would darkening the already white landscape with tainted atmospheric particulate matter not raise that temperature?
Global warming creation, climate change?
I don’t trust any government for anything.
500 flights per day how much carbon pollution is that?
Scientific hubris at its finest on full display
Misspelling “deranged whackos” as “sciemtists” seems like a very improbable mistake...and yet it keeps happening in “journalism”.
What the world really needs is a good old fashioned asteroid hit to shut up these hemorrhoids. That outta do it. Guaranteed to cool the planet for sure.
