Can We Fix the Planet the Same Way We Broke It? | Elizabeth Kolbert | GZERO World with Ian Bremmer

Climate journalist Elizabeth Kolbert assesses extreme climate solutions.

Every recent decade has been warmer than the decade before it. And as the climate continues to warm, more nations are looking to extreme measures to slow down the trend. While some of these solutions may sound like science fiction—see: injecting sulfur particles into the atmosphere or shooting millions of tiny orbital mirrors into outer space—do such desperate times call for desperate measures? Elizabeth Kolbert, a Pulitzer Prize-winning climate journalist, joins Ian Bremmer on GZERO World to talk about some of the more extreme climate solutions currently on the table and how likely they are to be used in the coming years.

How do you reconcile this story with historic ice formation in the Arctic in 2020, 1.1 million sq miles compared to a low of .7 million. The facts are indisputable if you report facts and not narratives. Models are consistently wrong, weather has remained stable but you see weather disasters instantly from around the world, giving the illusion of increased hurricanes, fires etc which are provable false

Pablum. Just repeated talking points of alarmists. Where was the mention of RCP 8.5 and all the failed doomsday predictions of the last two decades? C'mon, Ian, ask some tougher questions.

The Tesla electric car will do a lot to reduce the carbon.
But if the Arctic melts this summer... All bets are off.
