“Solar Radiation Management’ is a fancy way to say we should reflect some sunlight back into space. The new book Pandora’s Toolbox, the hopes and hazards of climate intervention takes us through not just the method, but the governance and ethics of this idea. Should we be making tools for future generation to use to clean up our mess? Listen in.

The reading list:

• The Climate Minute talks to author Wake Smith about Carbon Dioxide Removal
• Wake Smith's website
• Pandora's Toolbox at Barnes and Noble's
• Pandora's Toolbox at Amazon
• Definition of a 'wicked problem'
• What is the Stratosphere?
• Nils Gilman and the contingency of the nation state
• UN podcast on Net Zero
• Some rogue SRM happens in the novel "Ministry for the Future.' Read it for the hope it gives.

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon to safeguard our collective future.

Thanks for listening.
