Description
Geoengineering: The Gamble explores a complex and contentious topic at the heart of our efforts to combat climate change.
The idea is simple: reflect more sunlight back into space to cool the Earth. However, this approach also carries significant risks and uncertainties, including the potential for increased pollution and unforeseen consequences.
Climate economist Gernot Wagner examines both the possible benefits and drawbacks of solar geoengineering, as well as its implications for our efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
