Obviously you've not heard of something called radiation. Once the water
has
reached the pole it will give out its hear into outerspace, therefore
cooling down the planet, thus you are killing two solar penguins with
just
one stone.

But wait - the water gives out its heat by radiation because it's
hotter than outer space, right?

So if we leave the water where it is - where it's even HOTTER than
outer space - it will cool down the planet even faster and we don't
need to build these crazy pipes or spend a huge energy budget moving
the water! Brilliant! Global warming solves itself through the miracle
of water radiation! What is everyone worrying about!

You're forgetting that the sea only has a limited amount of surface area to
radiate heat from. Placing the water on the poles allows it to release its
heat at a much greater rate.- Hide quoted text -

Hmm, just over 70% of the surface of the earth. Very limited. Plus,
the poles ARE already covered with water, that's mainly what ice caps
are made of.

And where are you getting the energy to release this water as a spray
into the atmosphere? Another endothermic bottleneck!

Not forgetting of course, that the whole concept is specious. Unless
you're elevating this water more than 10 miles above sea level, at
immense expenditure of energy, it's not radiating anything into space.
It's exchanging heat with the atmosphere, a huge system which
transmits its heat largely via convection, can be considered a
contiguous environment, and is exposed to space over 100% of its
surface area already.

And finally: space isn't hot or cold, you know. It's a vacuum.
Somewhere to be hot or cold IN. Consider a thermos flask.
