What if we could create a global thermostat to reverse the effects of climate change? This is the radical and controversial idea behind geoengineering—the deliberate, large-scale intervention in Earth’s climate system.
In this deep dive, we explore the two main approaches to hacking our planet. First, “Carbon Dioxide Removal,” which includes building giant machines to suck CO2 from the air and fertilizing oceans to create massive plankton blooms. Then, we look at the even more radical “Solar Radiation Management,” the sci-fi concept of spraying particles into the stratosphere to dim the sun.
Is this a brilliant, last-ditch solution to save us from catastrophic warming, or a reckless gamble with terrifying unintended consequences like the “Termination Shock”? Join us as we break down the science, the risks, and the immense ethical debate.
