Combined with the question “Now What?” – that seems to indicate a new turn for scientists who hesitated to make recommendations.

This is a lively Q/A over geoengineering, carbon intensity of food and agriculture, air pollution, methane, and heat waves.

The local specifics can be found on the Berkeley Lab You-Tube channel under “Climate Change is Here – Now What?”
