Be sure to note the time change, compared to the EDT in the announcement on their website!
Dr. Wil Burns, AESS President and Co-Director of the Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment will be presenting, “Into the Great Wide Open? The Promise and Potential Perils of Climate Geoengineering.” Read a full description about the event on our website.
Description: According to recent analyses by the World Resources Institute, Climate Analytics, and the WWF, the pledges made by the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) put the world on course for temperature increases of 3-3.9C above pre-industrial levels by 2100. This could have disastrous consequences for human institutions and natural ecosystems, including massive sea level rise, eradication of coral reefs throughout the world, and potentially catastrophic declines in agricultural production, especially in the global South. As a consequence, increasing attention has been devoted to a series of potential responses that were once considered “taboo,” and “forbidden territory,” climate geoengineering.
