Hello everybody and welcome back to RevLeftRadio.

On today's episode we have on Holly Jean Buck, the author of After Geoengineering, Climate

Tragedy Repair and Restoration.

Holly Jean Buck writes on emerging technologies in the Anthropocene with work appearing in

journals such as development and change, climatic change, global sustainability and the annals

of the American Association of Geographers.

And since 2009 she has been researching the social dimensions of Geoengineering as a faculty

fellow with the Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment in Washington, DC as a member of

the Steering Committee for the International Climate Engineering Conference in Berlin

and as a doctoral researcher at Cornell University from which she holds a PhD in development

sociology.

So Holly is credibly qualified to talk about the crisis more broadly and specifically the

elements of Geoengineering and coming from a broadly left-wing political position she

also understands the absolute essential role that economic, social and political transformation

must play in addressing the crisis.

So this is a conversation on that book about different concepts of Geoengineering, what

they necessarily entail, some of the fault in how the left broadly thinks about these problems

and the role whether we like it or not that technology is going to have to play in addressing

the climate crisis and how a left-wing embrace of that can shift the conversation in ways

that go towards meeting our larger goals and away from the maintenance and perpetuation

of capitalism, colonialism and imperialism.
