Descriere
This book discusses climate change and responses to its risks-mitigation, adaptation, and geoengineering-within an increasingly ideological and geopolitically charged climate debate. It provides a detailed analysis of the scientific basis, feasibility, governance, costs, and risks associated with different forms of geoengineering.
