Speaking on his provocative new book A Case for Climate Engineering, David Keith, a leading scientist long concerned about climate change, explains how climate engineering might fit into a larger program for managing climate change. Climate engineering has emerged in recent years as an extremely controversial technology. Professor Keith offers no naïve proposal for an easy fix to what is perhaps the most challenging question of our time. But he argues that after decades during which very little progress has been made in reducing carbon emissions, we must put climate engineering on the table and consider it responsibly.
David Keith is Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and Gordon McKay Professor Applied Physics in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. He took first prize in Canada’s national physics prize exam, won MIT’s prize for excellence in experimental physics, and was listed as one of Time Magazine’s Heroes of the Environment 2009.
His remarks will be followed by a brief panel discussion and Q and A with the audience.
