  • - The Promises and Perils of Geoengineering on the Brink
     
    619,-

    Geoengineering is the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system in an attempt to mitigate the adverse effects of global warming. Now that a climate emergency is upon us, claims that geoengineering is inevitable are rapidly proliferating. How did we get into this? What options make it onto the table? Which are left out? Whom does geoengineering serve? These are some of the questions that the thinkers contributing to this volume are exploring.

    av Diane Sicotte

    Like many industrialized regions, the Philadelphia metro area contains pockets of environmental degradation. However, other neighbourhoods within and around the city are relatively pristine.
