Geoengineering, the practice of artificially altering the climate, has long been a contentious topic. Its attractiveness to scientists and policy makers who aim to engineer alternative solutions to mitigate the dangers of climate change is often met with economic, social and even ethical concerns.
This seminar looks to explore arguments for and against the implementation of geoengineering. What are the economic, social and environmental implications of proposed schemes? Can we afford not to employ them? Is geoengineering ethical? Does it work and if so, is it possible to reach the targets set out in the Paris agreement without it? These are just some of the topics we hope to investigate.
The talk will he chaired by Professor Rosalind Rickaby. The panel consists of Mr Tim Kruger, James Martin Fellow and Dr Phil Renforth, Lecturer in Engineering Geology at Cardiff University. A further two panellists will be released shortly.
