What are some questions that engineers ask about climate change?
- What changes do we need to make in our buildings and infrastructure to make decrease their impact on the environment and the climate?
- How can we intentionally manipulate the global climate in order to moderate or forestall some of the effects of climate change?
- How can we manage solar radiation or carbon dioxide removal or sequestration?
- What are some concerns about geoengineering?
