The climate emergency demands bold and unconventional solutions, and geoengineering has emerged as a controversial yet potentially transformative approach.
In the 23rd Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, convenes leading experts to examine the latest advancements in geoengineering. Together, they will discuss the scientific, ethical, and policy considerations surrounding relevant technologies and large-scale interventions–and their role in shaping the future of our planet.
