The Problem with Geoengineering (ft. @ClimateAdam)

Positives

• The video description offers links to many articles and reports for further reading.
• Students will learn that there is no perfect method for stopping climate change. Instead, it will require a combination of many different solutions.

Additional Prerequisites

• Students should understand how greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change.
• There are two ads at the beginning of the video.
• The video's content ends at 10 minutes, 51 seconds.
  

Differentiation

• Science classes could brainstorm solutions for making BECCS more sustainable.
• Cross-curricular connections could be made with economics or social studies classes by discussing why entrepreneurs and business owners prefer geoengineering over cutting emissions and how different industries would be affected by reducing fossil fuel use.
• Other resources on this topic include this Project Look Sharp lesson on carbon sequestration, this ClimateScience course on carbon removal, this Hot Mess video on large-scale carbon capture, and this Hot Mess video on other geoengineering solutions.
