The Geopolitical Risks of Climate Change - Myles Allen
Manage episode 418040598 series 3428921
Climate Change is predicted to spark increasing threats to food security and demands for climate reparations, fuelling geopolitical instability.
Probably the greatest risk of all, is tension over solar geo-engineering: the idea of reflecting away sunlight deliberately to modify global climate.
Recognizing solar geo-engineering as an inherently destabilising technology, because any such programme would inevitably be considered liable for bad weather everywhere, and ruling it out, would be very helpful.
This lecture was recorded by Myles Allen on 16th April 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London
