By Steve Chiotakis • • 53m ListenEverybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything; and when people repeat that witticism, they make it sound as though someone should. Now, someone may. Geoengineering. On this rebroadcast of today's To the Point, guest host Alex Chadwick explores whether we could use technology to alter the atmosphere and cool the warming planet. What could go wrong with that? There are scientists who think we should start trying to research exactly these questions. Also, the fallout after JP Morgan's $2 billion loss, and KCRW's Steve Chiotakis with a special report on California's budget woes.
