Climate Change: Past, Present & Opportunities for the Future

Climate change is one of the most vexing challenges humanity faces. It is an equally enormous opportunity. This talk will compare how Earth’s climate has changed through geologic time and how that compares to human-caused climate change. We will discuss the broad consensus on what needs to be done to control climate change and find that we already have many of the technical solutions we need.
