In this 30-minute video, Prof. Mark Skidmore discusses both natural and man-made causes of “climate change.” Moreover, he examines weather modification and geoengineering techniques and their applications worldwide.
The references for this talk are given below the video. You can follow Mark’s writings on economics and politics at his blog:
