Great Decisions: Monday, June 10

“Risky Science Across Borders”

Our next topic for “Great Decisions” is “Risky Science Across Borders” which explores research into atmospheric geoengineering, such as Solar Radiation Modification and other controversial solutions to the climate crisis. Our meeting will be on Monday, June 10, at 6:00 p.m. in the Walpole Town Library. All are welcome to join the discussion. 

The relevant reading from the Foreign Policy Association is their article, “Risky Science Across Borders,” by Mila Rosenthal, co-founder of Planet Reimagined, a climate solutions nonprofit, and executive director of International Science Reserve at the New York Academy of Sciences. This article is available from the library upon request: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org

I also recommend Elizabeth Kolbert’s “Under a White Sky,” specifically the entertaining final section entitled “Up In the Air.”

Despite assurances, the NH Healthcare Workers for Climate Action does not have an available speaker. Therefore, we will begin with the Master Class, which lasts about 20 minutes. Those joining via Zoom should wait until 6:25 to join. If you wish to  participate on Zoom, please contact Jane Malmberg for the Zoom link: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org

Come to “Great Decisions” on Monday, June 10, at 6:00 p.m. for an open discussion on climate solutions. Atmospheric geoengineering, diamond dust in the sky, stratospheric balloons spraying chalk…who decides? What could possibly go wrong?
