Here’s One Way We Could Refreeze Earth’s Melting Polar Ice
Tim Newcomb - Yesterday 4:24 PM
 

Scientists believe tanker planes could spray sulfur dioxide aerosol in the upper atmosphere over Earth’s poles to help them refreeze.

The temperatures of Earth’s poles could be cooled by about 2 degrees Celsius, the study says, costing about $11 billion annually.

But this proposal comes with risks, and it’s not a final solution to climate change—just a Band-Aid.
 
Faced with the growing threat of a warming world, scientists continue to concoct new concepts for stabilizing Earth’s temperatures. The latest entrant is a plan published in Environmental Research Communications that calls for high-altitude tanker planes to spray aerosol particles over Earth’s subpolar regions. Once in place, they would help deflect incoming solar radiation.

The ice caps are NOT melting. They are now both growing, year-over-year, after some shrinkage in the early part of the century.


You'd think these idiots would bother to actually look at the measurements.  But that would risk challenging their faith.

Easier, cheaper way to do the same:  just make a blend of jet fuel with a little extra sulphur included that is used only on flights using great circle routes over the Arctic (and Antarctic).  The effects can be readily controlled by raising or lowering the concentration, and turned off by simply going back to the standard sulphur-free jet fuels.

But, that would require acceptance of the loony tunes premise that man made global warming is a threat to civilization, and that we must now suffer through any government imposed hardship to avoid that.

Not really, we used to allow more sulphur in jet fuel before the older eco-scare of "acid rain".  The mix is probably cheaper than what's being used now, and it would make the greenies feel better.

Scientists attempt to "re-freeze" the poles?
What could go wrong?

See the post apocalyptic film "Snowpiercer":

You can find it on the net if you know "where to look"...

Freezing the poles is a temporary, stop-gap measure.  We need a more permanent solution ... blowup the sun.

Knew this movie was prophthetic, but not 480 years earlier than I thought.
