Geoengineering: is it the silver bullet?

25 Jan 2009

Speakers: Fiona Harvey, Stephen Salter, Chris Rapley

The panel in this seminar discuss the new ideas and technology involving geoengineering - from painting our roofs white to the creation of artificial clouds. There are endless possible ideas and new schemes which are always being created, yet lack of funding severely limits research in this sector. People fear that geoengineering may be needed sooner than 2050, yet few are brave enough to venture into this area of development.

In this seminar, we are given an insight into why geoengineering is desperately needed and how efficient it could be.
