"The climate system is an angry beast, and we are poking at it with sticks," says Broecker

Reducing emissions?  Not enough! To stop global warming, Dr. Wallace Broecker insists that we must take radical steps.  He'll frame the arguments around global warming and propose solutions that include extracting CO2 from the air and packing it in layers of volcanic rock.   

Big Ideas:

• Dr. Broecker raised the alarm on global warming in 1975
• While it is important to reduce our emisisons, we need to do more, including scrubbing CO2 out of the atmosphere
• The solution may lie in a product that is like fly paper for CO2
