A case for climate engineering

Keith, David W., - Personal Name;

A leading scientist argues that we must consider deploying climate engineering technology to slow the pace of global warming."Climate engineering -- which could slow the pace of global warming by injecting reflective particles into the upper atmosphere -- has emerged in recent years as an extremely controversial technology. 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."OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
