Indonesia, battling severe forest fires that have caused toxic haze across Southeast Asia, is experimenting with an unconventional method to disperse the smoke. The government plans to drop dry ice from aircraft over South Sumatra province, aiming to disrupt temperature inversions that trap pollutants near the ground. This follows previous attempts at cloud seeding, water bombing, and deploying soldiers to fight the fires. The dry ice technique, first used in the 1940s, is being tested for the first time in Indonesia and its effectiveness in tropical conditions remains uncertain.
