GBH Presents a conversation with NOVA’s Can We Cool the Planet?
Wed, Nov. 11, 6:30-7:30pm EST
General admission event, free and open to the public
Zoom Webinar

As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are wondering if we need solutions beyond reducing emissions. From sucking carbon straight out of the air to physically blocking out sunlight, the options may seem far-fetched. But as time runs out on conventional solutions to climate change, scientists are asking the hard questions: Can geoengineering really work? How much would it cost? And what are the risks associated with engineering Earth's climate?

Join NOVA’s Can We Cool the Planet? filmmakers Ben Kalina and Jen Schneider for an important conversation. They will be joined by experts, Lola Fatoyinbo, Ph.D., research physical scientist in the Biospheric Sciences Lab at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and David Keith, Ph.D., the Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics at Harvard University and professor of public policy at Harvard Kennedy School. Guests are encouraged to submit their questions during the conversation. NOVA producer Caitlin Saks will moderate this discussion.

The event is free, but reservations are required. Secure your ticket today.

NOVA’s Can We Cool the Planet? premieres Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020 at 9pm EST on GBH.
