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.

Why doesn’t my glass of water overflow when the ice melts?
Can someone tell me?
And if my water glass is the earth and the poles are the ice and if they melt…
What happens?
answer- NOTHING
And ocean currents...
A few people I know totally believe in chemtrails, but cannot support their arguments about the logistics of such an undertaking. I am amazed some people still believe that crap.
“But the researchers argue only 1% of the human population lives in the target deployment zone.”
Except it will spread global, what then? 100% of human population?
Pollution.
175,000 flights per year for how many years? Won’t the CO2 the aircraft release more than offset what they are trying to correct?
OPS, my bad, they will be using electric powered aircraft recharged by electricity from solar and wind farms.
The ice is already floating, displacing its weight in liquid. Water ice shrinks in volume as it melts, because unique molecular structure. But you already knew that. Right?
And if my water glass is the earth and the poles are the ice and if they melt…
The water glass is NOT the Earth, and the poles are NOT the ice cubes floating in your glass. Fill in the blanks: Antarctica is a ________________. Greenland is a ___________.
What happens?
What do you think happens to the ice on Antarctica when it melts? What do you think happens to the ice on Greenland when it melts?
answer- NOTHING
Wrong answer. You get a grade of ZERO, as in complete catastrophic failure, on your paper.
Try to do better next time.
This would never happen. But it is a vitamin feed for all the hoaxers to keep their nutty stories going.
That’s the idea. The COVID didn’t do the job, so we’re going to be poisoned this way.
How many actual working scientists have you ever met in your entire life?
—
You got me. You found me out. I don’t know how to read or think for myself. I can only repeat what I am told.
I am very sorry that I offended you in any way.
I hope this apology is taken in the spirit in which it is given.
So basically, you slandered a whole group about which you know only what the leftists in Big Media want you to know.
I assure you, I have all the respect for you which you deserve.
Do they know what the effects will be? Acid rain?
This is a very foolish idea. The results will be permanent. There is no “UNDO.”
Umm...this guy was "President" of one of the major failure points responsible for the 737 debacle? They completely failed to train pilots worldwide on that key software that caused planes to crash because pilots weren't trained to respond to the software output correctly?
Geez. Couldn't they put this guy in charge of global vaccine development or something? Somewhere he can't cause problems...
NUTS!
I’ve seen this movie before. It doesn’t end well for mankind.
"Good dog! No go buy soap, toilet paper and beer ... Make our advertisers happy."
This should be on the Babylon Bee...
Facts……they can a bitch sometimes.

"Sulfur dioxide is a major air pollutant and has significant impacts upon human health.[42] In addition, the concentration of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere can influence the habitat suitability for plant communities, as well as animal life.[43] Sulfur dioxide emissions are a precursor to acid rain and atmospheric particulates. Due largely to the US EPA's Acid Rain Program, the U.S. has had a 33% decrease in emissions between 1983 and 2002.
The South Pole had record lows and ice last season. The insanity continues!
