David Keith, environmental scientist

Geo-engineer Professor David Keith discusses his work combatting global warming by altering the way the sea, the clouds and the atmosphere work. A dangerous leap into the unknown?

But is geo-engineering a cost-effective, emergency stop-gap, before the effects of climate change become irreversible, or a dangerous leap into the unknown?
