Scientists suggest spraying sulphur dioxide to re-freeze Earth's poles

In what might seem like a last-ditch effort to save the melting icecaps and tackle global warming, scientists have suggested a mammoth and controversial solution.They suggest spraying sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere to refreeze the Earth's poles.
According to them, high-flying jets can be used to spray the upper layers of the atmosphere with microscopic aerosol particles. This would reflect the sunlight and allow the icecaps to cool and refreeze.
As per the detailed plan, 125 military jets with air-to-air fuelling tankers would be needed to release a microscopic cloud of sulphur dioxide. The altitude would be 43,000 feet, and the latitude needed is 60 degrees in both hemispheres. 13 tonnes of particles released in summer and spring would cool the Earth's poles by 2 degrees Celsius. An ex-scientist from the UK stated that this plan would refreeze the Earth's poles and check the rising sea levels globally.
Wake Smith, the scientist leading the study, stated that the suggestion would merely treat one of the symptoms of climate change. It would not give an effective remedy for the cause.
