"How to Cool the Planet": a Lecture by Jeff Goodell
Location: Palamountain Hall: Gannett Auditorium
Date: 04/14/2010
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Speaker: Jeff Goodell
Description:
Environmental journalist Jeff Goodell returns to Skidmore to speak about his newest book, "How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth's Climate," due out in April 2010. In his book, Goodell investigates the viability of geoengineering: ambitious, mostly unproven strategies to "deliberately engineer the earth's climate to counteract global warming." Despite his promise to avoid the "wacky ideas proposed by wannabe geoengineers," Goodell still must ask the question: "at what point does the urgent and heroic goal of fixing the planet become just another excuse to make a quick buck?" In a genre dominated by doomsday scenarios, Goodell's treatment is refreshingly lighthearted, but two questions haunt him: "What kind of person dreams of engineering the entire planet? and Can we trust him?" He warns, "Technology has taken us farther away from nature, not drawn us closer to it," and his provocative account achieves a fine balance between the inventor's enthusiasm and the scientist's skepticism.
