The Scientist Moving Geoengineering Forward
Harvard professor David Keith has done as much as any single researcher to push the touchy topic of geoengineering toward the scientific mainstream (see A Cheap and Easy Plan to Stop Global Warming).He was among the first to seriously assess potential ways of altering the climate to ease global warming, and he has undertaken some of the most detailed research on a promising approach known as stratospheric injection. He also wrote a book on the subject, A Case for Climate Engineering, and co-manages a Bill Gatesbacked energy and climate fund that has supported research in this area.
