Debate - "The Case For and Against Climate Engineering"

Monday 2nd December 2013

We are delighted to announce a debate between Professor David Keith (Harvard) and Professor Mike Hulme (King's College London) on the case for and against climate engineering.

The debate will focus on solar geoengineering - proposed techniques to reflect a proportion of the sun's radiation back into space to counteract some of the effects of climate change. The debate will take place between 17:00 and 18:30 on Monday 2 December at the Oxford Martin School, 34 Broad Street, Oxford. OX1 3BD which can be found here.
 
Professor Keith has recently published a book entitled "The Case for Climate Engineering", while Professor Hulme will be publishing a book on climate engineering with a contrasting viewpoint, in April next year. 
 
The event is being organised by the Oxford Geoengineering Programme, an initiative of the Oxford Martin School, at the University of Oxford. Entry is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. We intend to webcast the debate and will provide further details about this in due course.
