Summary

The impacts of climate change continue to grow clearer and more dire, while countries backslide on plans to wean off fossil fuels and cut greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the worst effects of warming. All that has raised the profile of solar geoengineering: the controversial, and still theoretical, method of cooling the planet by injecting tiny aerosol particles into the stratosphere to reflect more of the sun’s energy back into space. Climate reporter for Grid News, Dave Levitan joins Thom Hartmann to discuss how solar geoengineering is in drastic need of rebranding.
