Loading ...A group of scientists propose unleashing huge amounts of microscopic aerosol chemicals from 125 massive military jets over the Earth’s North and South Poles, in a desperate bid to refreeze the melting ice caps, Sky News reports — a plan that’s already proving highly controversial among experts.
To make a sizeable dent in the accelerating decline in ice shelves, we’d have to fly roughly 175,000 flights of “high-flying spy planes and drones” every single year, according to a recent study led by Yale University researcher Wake Smith. Those jets would themselves release copious amounts of carbon dioxide high up into the atmosphere, it’s worth noting. But despite the harmful emissions, Smith claims it’d still be worthwhile.
