Emily Voigt talks with Columbia University earth scientist Wallace Broecker, co-author of Fixing Climate, the latest in a spate of books on the seemingly intractable problem of global warming. Broecker and his co-author Robert Kunzig embrace a techno-fix to carbon dioxide emissions that was pioneered by physicist Klaus Lackner. The plan: scrub CO2 from the atmosphere and bury it deep within the ground in liquid form.
