The Hopes and Hazards of Climate Intervention (Community Matters)
A New Book on Climate Change by Wake Smith. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Wake Smith.
The public discourse around climate change remains fixated on reaching net zero carbon emissions, however net zero is only the beginning. According to Wake Smith (Yale Professor and Climate Intervention Researcher), unless we do so unexpectedly quickly, reaching net zero emissions will not be the end of the climate struggle, but only the end of the beginning.
In Pandora’s Toolbox: The Hopes and Hazards of Climate Intervention (Cambridge University Press, March 2022), Smith offers readers an accessible and authoritative introduction to both the hopes and hazards of some of humanity’s most controversial technologies, which may nevertheless provide the key to saving our world.
