Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell - Season 8 Episode 16 Geoengineering: A Horrible Idea We Might Have to Do

But the failure of world leaders to effectively address climate change, makes it far from impossible.

Interventions so massive in scale that they might undo centuries of human behavior. Or make everything much worse. What is geoengineering, is it really an option and what if it goes wrong?
