Will the world act on climate change fast enough? If not, some propose that we consider geoengineering - the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the planetary environment. This free Climate Science on Tap event will explore geoengineering, and the scientific, political and ethical questions around geoengineering tests.
Growing evidence indicates that nuclear power will need to play a role in meeting the world’s increasing energy needs. Let’s put the risks of radiation from nuclear power in perspective. How much radiation do we live with all the time? Is a small amount, repeated over a long time, as deadly as a large amount? Is it safe to live next to a nuclear power plant? Bring your concerns and questions.
Yoram Bauman, founder and co-chair of the Yes on I-732 campaign, will explain the economics of putting a price on carbon. He will be joined by UW climate scientist Rachel White, who will address how global energy fueled by carbon has caused the planet and humaity to be facing a global warming crisis. Leran how I-732's price on carbon is designed to help prevent worse climate disruption.
