Mother Nature figured out how to fix climate change. Surprisingly, we still aren't listening to her.
When I hear the word "hacker," I think of someone in a creepy mask, using a computer to steal phone records or pull devious pranks. I'd never think to associate it with science or changing the planet. But as it turns out, geo-engineering is kinda like hacking the environment. This TED Talk explores the possibility of taking what the earth already does naturally and flipping it to possibly help reverse climate change. It's a really neat idea, but the real question is ... is it a good one?
