The Promise and Peril of Geoengineering (encore)


Listen Later

Geoengineering is defined as some emerging technologies that could manipulate the environment and partially offset some of the impacts of climate change. Seems like the perfect solution for a consumerist society that lives on instant gratification and can’t stop polluting even at the risk of our futures, right? Well, let’s slow down. Today we’ll discuss the dangers of geoengineering and the ethics of the fact that these new technologies are being tested on Indigenous lands.

GUESTS:

  • Basav Sen – Climate Justice Project Director at the Institute for Policy Studies
  • Dr. Steven Zornetzer – Vice-Chair, Governing Board of Arctic Ice Project
  • Panganga Pungowiyi – Organizer for the nonprofit Indigenous Environmental Network in Alaska
