Manipulating the Weather | Interview: Dr. David Keith

‘I don’t buy that climate is an existential threat.’

Dr. David Keith, professor of geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago and founder of Carbon Engineering, joins Jonah Goldbergto explain the controversy surrounding geoengineering. Together, he and Jonah brainstorm ways to decarbonize the economy, argue over the fine print of climate policy, and wonder if humanity can fix the planet without accidentally turning it into a giant Easy-Bake Oven.

Jonah Goldberg is editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Dispatch, based in Washington, D.C. Prior to that, enormous lizards roamed the Earth. More immediately prior to that, Jonah spent two decades at National Review, where he was a senior editor, among other things. He is also a bestselling author, longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times, commentator for CNN, and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. When he is not writing the G-File or hosting The Remnant podcast, he finds real joy in family time, attending to his dogs and cat, and blaming Steve Hayes for various things.
