About this event For Thursday’s talk we invite Eimear Stephenson, a Green Sod Ireland volunteer to launch a youth panel discussion for citizen science. The message of the panel will be to show that youth have an active and vital role to play in conservation, and to show how different that looks to everyone. Conservation isn’t just about planting trees or looking after animals, it can be so much more - like education, activism, outreach, citizen science, data collection, and so on. We need to emphasise that there is a place for everyone and that what youth do is impactful and powerful! We look forward to hearing from our youth panel who will be tuning in from Australia, England, Ireland, Sweden and Zimbabwe. ....
Harvard researchers announced Wednesday they will postpone a test flight for a controversial environmental engineering project â the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment â after pushback from an Indigenous peoplesâ group in Sweden. Through the project, known as âSCoPEx,â School of Engineering and Applied Sciences engineering professor Frank N. Keutschâs research group plans to release a small amount of particles into the stratosphere to test whether those particles could reflect sunlight back to space. According to the Keutsch research groupâs website, the projectâs goal is to better understand solar geoengineering, a controversial strategy that could be used to curb global warming. The project is supported in part by philanthropist Bill Gates through SEASâs Solar Geoengineering Research Program. ....
Apocalyptic warnings about climate change such as the U.S. Geological Survey-Cornell-University of Arizona report in 2014 that the American Southwest faced a significant risk of a 35-year megadrought grow more plausible and terrifying each year as new global temperature records are set and massive wildfires come to seem normal. Some scientists believe the planet may already be past the tipping point. The Uninhabitable Earth: A Story of the Future, a 2019 book by American journalist David Wallace-Wells, laid out the view that there is already so much carbon in the atmosphere that global disaster is inevitable. But Wallace-Wells also wrote that thanks to technological advances, the solutions are obvious, and available referring to not just increasingly cheap green energy but to proposals to use geoengineering. For the uninitiated, geoengineering is the deliberate, large-scale intervention in the Earth s climate system to slow or reverse climate change. ....
