Science: Eli Kintisch & David Battisti: Geoengineering Possibilities and Dangers
With everyday efforts to reduce carbon emissions falling short, some scientists are exploring more direct and radical ways to cool the planet. Geoengineering techniques such as making clouds brighter and growing giant blooms of algae in the ocean might seem incredible, but what if they're our only hope for avoiding calamity? Science reporter Eli Kintisch and UW Professor David Battisti, authors of Hack the Planet, investigate geoengineering's scientific, ethical, and geopolitical issues, examining its possibilities and dangers in a time of planetary tipping points. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft.
