And for good reason: it carries unknown risks and it may undermine commitments to conserving energy. Some critics also view it as an immoral human breach of the natural world. The latter objection, David Keith argues in A Scientist's Case for Climate Engineering, is groundless; we have been using technology to alter our environment for years. But he agrees that there are large issues at stake."Boston review book.Climate change mitigationGlobal warmingPreventionEnvironmental engineeringSulfuric acidEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental geotechnologyEnvironmental policyENVIRONMENT/GeneralENGINEERING/GeneralClimate change mitigation.Global warmingPrevention.Environmental engineering.Sulfuric acidEnvironmental aspects.Environmental geotechnology.Environmental policy.551.68Keith David W.1514294OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910790527303321A case for climate engineering3749279UNINA
