Geochemistry and Solar Communism

December 3, 4:30 PM ET. In person and online | With David Schwartzman and Salvatore Engel Di-Mauro.

In a world where global warming is driven incessantly, and fossil fuel corporations continue to accrue profits without constraints, what options do we have to avert the climate crisis? Is a move to renewable energy possible under capitalism? Join us for a seminar with professor and researcher, David Schwartzman, as we discuss the use of biogeochemistry to understand the current conditions of the planet and the potential for solar energy in a socialist society.
