"Climate Wars" by Gwynne Dyer (2008)
I previously published an episode titled "The Climate Crisis requires profound societal changes immediately" and I am publishing this to provide additional context for those interested in how climate change may play out geopolitically and militarily.
You can find the three CBC Radio One "Ideas" episodes Dyer himself narrated in 2009 at the following link. You can also track down his book "Climate Wars" via the same site.

A couple notes:
1. Ocean acidification, a very serious concern, is not mentioned in the CBC Ideas "Climate Wars" audio.
2. Solar radiation management (injecting reflective materials into the stratosphere) would not impede ocean acidification without significant reductions in GHG emissions. It would, rather, only temporarily reduce global temperatures and only do so as long as it was maintained (such materials would typically only stay in the stratosphere for a few years before dissipating).
