Presentation transcript:

If annual emissions continue to increase by current rate global temperatures could rise by 5.5 degrees C by 2100.

So what is Plan B?

What is geo-engineering? The Earth’s climate could be manipulated using science to counteract the effects of global warming. How?

What questions does geo-engineering raise? Think… Environmental? Economical? Political? Social? Moral?

Are the dangers associated with geo-engineering too great? Yes? No?

Do the consequences of geo-engineering outweigh the threat that continued global warming poses?

Will geo-engineering save the world?
