In today’s Lightning Round video, we talk about the world’s history of extinction events and ask how long do we – statistically – have before it happens again.

We’ve seen through volcanic eruptions that we can cool the planet significantly by pumping particulate aerosols into the stratosphere. But there’s a major catch.
