  • The value of investments may fall as well as rise, and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

  • From the New York Times, I'm Catrin Benhold.

  • This is the daily after failing for decades to cut carbon emissions enough to stop the planet from dangerously overheating, scientists are increasingly looking at backup measures, some that would fight the warming by intervening in the climate itself.

  • Today, my colleague Christopher Flavel on the efforts to engineer our way out of the climate crisis.

  • It's Friday, April 5.

  • So, Chris, you've been covering climate change for a while, but recently you've been focused on a very special project.

  • Tell us about this.

  • Yeah, two things have been happening in climate change recently that are really important.

  • Number one, records have been falling at alarming rates.

  • Last year was again the hottest year on record.

  • Much the world surpassed this sort of important threshold of 1.5 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels.

  • So the world is getting warmer at an alarming rate.

  • At the same time, emissions aren't falling, right?
