It’s also one of the most controversial. We engineered our planet into our environmental crisis, but can we engineer our way out with a stratospheric veil against the sun, the cultivation of photosynthetic plankton, or fleets of unmanned ships seeding the clouds? In his new book, The Planet Remade: How Geoengineering Could Change the World, Oliver Morton argues that the risks of climate change merit serious action. According to Morton, geoengineering is not a simple or singular solution to the problem, but it is worth exploring, even if it’s never actually deployed. On Monday, Feb. 1, at 12:15 p.m., Future Tense will host a lunch in Washington, D.C., where Oliver Morton and Future Tense Fellow Katherine Mangu-Ward will discuss geoengineering’s potential as a climate change fix and the many challenges that would come with it. Follow the discussion online using #PlanetRemade and follow us@FutureTenseNow. Lunch will be provided. Participants: Oliver Morton Author, The Planet Remade: How Geoengineering Could Change the World Briefings Editor, The Economist @Eaterofsun Katherine Mangu-Ward Future Tense Fellow, New America Managing Editor, Reason magazine @kmanguward Future Tense is a partnership of Arizona State University, New Americaand Slate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
