Summary

Climate Change can occur from many sources, natural or manmade. In order to handle these problems we may wish to utilize many of the technologies we've developed for future space exploration, colonization, and terraforming.

0:00.0	Hello, SFIA audio listeners. In this month's Nebula exclusive, big alien theory,
0:05.2	we're asking the reason alien civilizations might be rare is because most aliens are huge.
0:10.5	To hear it and every episode early and ad-free, plus hours of bonus content, check out
0:15.5	go.nebola.tv slash Isaac Arthur and use my code, Isaac Arthur.
0:20.2	This video is sponsored by CuriosityStream.
0:23.5	Get access to my streaming video service, Nebula, when you sign up for CuriosityStream
0:28.2	using the link in the description.
0:31.1	Humanity has a way of altering and even severely damaging our environment and climate,
0:36.1	and it would be nice to be able to avoid doing
0:37.8	that, or at least mitigate the problems it causes, so let's see what's in our toolbox.
0:45.1	So today we'll be looking at ways to mitigate, reverse, or even amplify climate changes
0:49.7	using only near-term technologies, which for SFIA usually means we either have the tech today
0:55.7	or it is comfortably on the radar.
0:58.5	If you're a channel regular, you won't be surprised that we won't be focusing entirely on
1:02.8	carbon dioxide-based climate change or even just man-made approaches, and you also won't
1:07.9	be surprised that a lot of the solutions we discuss involve mega-engineering
1:11.8	we've looked at for terraforming other planets.
1:14.9	For those of you who are new to the channel, a lot of the concepts we discuss can seem
1:19.3	rather over-the-top at first glance, but are always rooted in hard science, or in short form,
1:26.1	welcome to SFIA, where we'll cheerfully discuss how
1:29.3	to use hydrogen bombs to save the environment.
1:33.3	Now climate change is inherently a politically controversial topic, and we'll be doing our
