Geoengineering Group Members invited to an upcoming event this week at The British Library.
TalkScience@BL-- Geoengineering Our Climate: Fixing Earth’s Future? A discussion with Professor Tim Lenton 14 July, 2011, 18.20 – 20.30 (The British Library, 96 Euston Rd, London NW1 2DB) Professor Tim Lenton, Professor of Earth Systems Science at the University of Exeter will introduce the subject, followed by a discussion among the audience. The provocative title aims to stimulate discussion on the following questions: ** 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? TalkScience@bl is a quarterly café scientifique series where an expert provides a short, yet provocative introduction, followed by a discussion amongst an informed audience. These events are for researchers from academia and industry, policymakers, research funders, publishers, and all those with a stake in science. This event is £5, booking is required - please reserve your place by visiting our box office. http://www.bl.uk/whatson/events/event122862.html Refreshments are included Please do forward on to any colleagues that you think might be interested.
