The Story Walking Radio Hour with Wendy Fachon
What is Geoengineering? Awareness and Understanding with guests Rachael McIntosh and Susan Clarke
Geoengineering as the intentional manipulation of the environment, involving nuclear, biological, chemical, electromagnetic, and/or other physical-agent activities that effect changes to Earth’s atmosphere and/or surface. For instance, if people build a dam and create a lake, that’s geoengineering! If people inject Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as dry ice, into the atmosphere to create rain, that’s geoengineering too! Acid rain has led to the destruction of trees that have naturally managed earth's climate for millions of years. This episode will begin with a story walk among the trees.
Surprisingly, there are no laws governing geoengineering, and our guests have been working to introduce The Geoengineering Act of 2020, an important public health and safety bill that recognizes emissions in the air that are having severe environmental effects upon the earth's surface, its waters, air and atmosphere. The bill defines geoengineering in detail. It outlines permitting requirements and enforcement measures to protect individuals and communities from the dangerous fallout of unwarranted climate modification activities. This episode shares basic information about geoengineering and suggestions as to how listeners can help support this vital effort.
