DESCRIPTION:Thursday, February 11, 5pm-6:30pm Pacific time\n\nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM 
 presents an exceptional Zoom event:\n\nELIZABETH KOLBERT + MARK 
 HERTSGAARD\nUnder a White Sky, The Nature of the Future\n\nElizabeth 
 Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Sixth Extinction," returns 
 to humanity's transformative impact on our environment, now asking: after 
 doing so much damage, can we change nature, this time to save it? That man 
 should have dominion "over all the earth, and over every creeping thing 
 that creepeth upon the earth" is a prophecy that has hardened into fact. So 
 pervasive are human impacts on the planet that it is said we now live in a 
 new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. In "Under a White Sky" Kolbert 
 takes a hard look at this new world we are creating. She examines how the 
 sorts of intervention that have imperiled our planet are increasingly seen 
 as the only hope for its salvation. \n\n"Under a White Sky" takes a 
 clear-eyed look at the new world we are creating. She meets scientists who 
 are trying to preserve the world's rarest fish - one that lives in a tiny 
 pool in the middle of the Mojave Desert. She visits a lava field in 
 Iceland, where engineers are turning carbon emissions to stone; an aquarium 
 in Australia, where researchers are trying to develop "super coral" that 
 can survive on a hotter globe; and a lab at Harvard, where physicists are 
 contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere in order to 
 reflect sunlight back to space to cool the earth. By turns inspiring, 
 terrifying, and darkly comic, "Under a White Sky" is a thoroughly original 
 view of the challenges confronting us. \n\nMark Hertsgaard is an American 
 journalist, author and environmental correspondent for The Nation magazine. 
 Formerly a cultural reporter for the New Yorker, he has written seven 
 books, including "Bravehearts: Whistle Blowing in the Age of Snowden, and 
 "Hot: Living through the Next Fifty Years on Earth."\n\nThis event features 
 two outstanding environmental authorities discussing the future of our 
 planet.\n\n$20 one admission, $35 admission + book.\n
