Could the world get so hot that humanity is tempted to break the glass and spray heat-deflecting gases into the sky? The National Academy of Sciences recently issues a report cautiously endorsing research into such techniques known as geoengineering. But big questions remain about who would oversee experiments such as tinkering with clouds so they reflect more of the Sun’s heat and cool the Earth. What group of humans could be trusted with such God-like powers?

Join us for a discussion of hacking the climate to buy some time for humanity.
