Show Notes

We've been doing geoengineering, transforming our environment, since the beginning of human civilization.

In the past many effects appeared only local, or at most continental, while today they are global.

The flow of real time information enhances our ability to assess the impact of the changes in the environment.

The responsibility is ours to take advantage of the technological tools we have available, and to develop new ones, to maintain Earth within the parameters that lead to human flourishing.
