Dr Jeremy Baskin

Dr Jeremy Baskin currently teaches courses on ‘Business and Sustainability’ and on ‘Global Environmental Politics’ at the University of Melbourne.  He is completing a PhD in Politics examining the most controversial geoengineering proposal: the spraying of sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere to reduce incoming sunlight and cool the planet, or ‘solar geoengineering’.  In this he explores the imagined world/s of geoengineering, and asks why solar geoengineering has become a mainstream proposition, and yet has failed to be normalised as an acceptable third leg of climate policy.
