Underreported: Geo-Engineering and Global Warming

from Underreported from WNYC's The Leonard Lopate Show Hosted by WNYC, New York Public Radio

As the threat of Global Warming grows more urgent, some scientists are looking at ways to change the climate through geo-engineering. Proposals include everything from sulfur-dioxide spewing zeppelins to simply blocking out the sun. The only catch is that most of these technologies come with dangerous and extremely undesirable side effects. Graeme Wood wrote about geo-engineering for the July/August issue of the Atlantic Magazine.
