False Promises & Real Solutions: Part 1

We've all heard the extremely disturbing hype about geoengineering as a so-called solution for climate change—but how much do we really know about it? Where did it come from? Who started it—and why? Why does it totally suck? Why is it sooo sinister? And what can we do about it? What are the genuine and viable alternatives that will actually fix up our climate—and our entire human society—for real?
