FROM SLATE, NEW AMERICA, AND ASU These Two Experts Will Answer Your Burning Geoengineering Questions On Jan. 19, 2016. We’re now more than halfway through the first installment of Futurography, a project that aims to inform readers about the technologies that will define tomorrow. So far, the geoengineering chapter of Futurography has offered: an introduction to the science of tinkering with the atmosphere to mitigate climate changea cheat sheet laying out the big ideas and debatesa reflection on the ethical problems involved with testing the technologiesa guide to the two questions you should ask yourself about the field And we have more coming up before we offer a quiz at the end of the month. But whether you’ve read all those pieces or not (though you should!), you probably have questions about geoengineering. What technologies are most promising? What are the biggest dangers? How worried should people be about a rogue billionaire trying to fix climate change on his own? On Tuesday, Jan. 19, at 3:30 Eastern, two experts will be here to answer your burning geoengineering questions. Jeff Goodell is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, a fellow at New America, and the author of How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth’s Climate. He will be joined by Raymond T. Pierrehumbert, who is the Halley professor of physics at the University of Oxford and has called geoengineering “barking mad.” Check this space on Jan. 19 at 3:30 p.m.; you can also submit your questions ahead of time using the form below: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
