PODCASTS
A Plan to Hack the Planet | WSJ Podcasts
"Tech CEO Luke Iseman has an idea he wants to sell the world: A business plan to cool the Earth by dimming the amount of sunlight that hits the planet. As WSJ’s Eric Niiler explains, the principle behind the idea, geoengineering, is getting big investment but is also sparking serious scientific debate."
Resistance to Geoengineering in Africa with Dr. Mfoniso Antia | Breaking Green
https://breakinggreen.buzzsprout.com/1785184/12510241
"Ahead of a meeting of African Union Heads of States in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, numerous civil society organizations called on the African Union not to Geoengineer the African Continent. The organizations noted that geoengineering is a false techno-fix that can only provide an excuse for the Global North to continue relying on fossil-fuel based energy generation in light of the ongoing climate emergency. The organizations stated that advancing geoengineering technologies distracts countries from their commitments to large emission cuts, responsible consumption and delivering over-due climate finance. On this episode of Breaking Green we will talk with Dr. Mfoniso Antia of the Health of Mother Earth Foundation."
