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. A leading scientist long concerned about climate change, Keith offers no naive proposal for an easy fix to what is perhaps the most challenging question of our time; climate engineering is no silver bullet. But he argues that after decades during which very little progress has been made in reducing carbon emissions we must put this technology on the table and consider it responsibly. That doesn't mean we will deploy it, and it doesn't mean that we can abandon efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But we must understand fully what research needs to be done and how the technology might be designed and used. This book provides a clear and accessible overview of what the costs and risks might be, and how climate engineering might fit into a larger program for managing climate change. 410 0$aBoston review book. 606 $aClimate change mitigation 606 $aGlobal warming$xPrevention 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aSulfuric acid$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aEnvironmental geotechnology 606 $aEnvironmental policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimate change mitigation. 615 0$aGlobal warming$xPrevention. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aSulfuric acid$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aEnvironmental geotechnology. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 676 $a551.68 700 $aKeith$b David W$01056374 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452848903321 996 $aA case for climate engineering$92490688 997 $aUNINA
