Geoengineering our climate: Fixing Earth’s Future? A discussion with Professor Tim Lenton Date: 14 July, 2011 Time: 18.20 – 20.30 (Doors open at 18.00)
Tim Lenton is a Professor of Earth System Science at the University of Exeter. His work on the Gaia theory of Earth as a self-regulating system covers the history and future of life on Earth, tipping points in the Earth’s climate system, and evaluations of the effectiveness of geoengineering methods. Points for discussion include: Why are scientists considering geoengineering proposals to tackle climate change? Geoengineering proposals that range from mirrors in space to ocean fertilisation are being considered, but what is actually feasible? Is there a tipping point for Earth’s climate when geoengineering will no longer be an option? Do we know enough about Earth systems to implement a solution that could have lasting consequences?
