Geoengineering
Description
Our planet's climate is a highly complex, interlocked, self-organizing system. This video clip asks whether or not we could intervene and take over some of the control of the climate? Advocates of geoengineering believe we could and that we could use this control to combat some of the negative effects of climate change. For example, one of the suggestions is to release a whole lot of sulfate particles into the sky to cool down the global warming caused by carbon emissions.
