Climate Control

Living on Earth

Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions may not be sufficient to curb global warming, so some scientists are proposing large-scale geo-engineering projects to pick up the slack. Bill Gail writes about nine ways to cool the planet in this month’s issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine. He tells host Bruce Gellerman about these ideas and about a new concept called “climate management.”
