Forest Power: Cooling the Planet Naturally

[H simmens]



I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Rob de Laet and Peter Bunyard on the sidelines of the Global Tipping Points Conference in Exeter earlier this month on their new book Cooling the Climate. How to revive the biosphere and cool the earth within 20 years. Please take a look and circulate to friends and colleagues. 

We spoke about how the Biotic Pump -  a remarkable feature of the planet - can be harnessed to directly cool the climate and potentially stabilize and lower temperatures rapidly and safely. 

Thanks to Bru Pearce for doing an excellent job as the video recorder of the program! 

As you know Ecosystem Restoration whether in the sea by Marine Permaculture and other means or on the land is a critical dimension of any portfolio of cooling interventions as articulated in the HPAC mission statement.
