Intervention Earth: Life Saving Ideas from the Worlds Climate Engineers.
The global climate emergency is now an alarming fact of life. Much as we still need to get emissions under control, many are thinking that it’s all too little, too late. As scientists, politicians and concerned citizens scramble for solutions to the catastrophic effects of a warming world, is it time to explore the controversial topic of geoengineering? Intervention Earth is built around Dyer’s interviews with one hundred climate scientists from around the globe, including the leading figures in the geoengineering field. But Intervention Earth is about more than technological mega-projects. Dyer devotes ample space to the many innovative ideas on offer, but there is no get-out-of-jail-free card. In his talk, Dyer outlines a whole portfolio of techniques and technologies—and a lot of hard, thankless work— that will be needed to keep the planet hospitable for humanity.
