This book is the first to present a detailed and critical appraisal
of the geo-scale engineering interventions that have been proposed
as potential measures to counter the devastation of run-away global
warming. Early chapters set the scene with a discussion of
projections of future CO2 emissions and techniques for predicting
climate tipping points. Subsequent chapters then review proposals
to limit CO2 concentrations through improved energy technologies,
removal of CO2 from the atmosphere, and stimulated uptake by the
oceans. Schemes for solar radiation management involving the
reflection of sunlight back into space and using artificially
brightened clouds and stratospheric aerosols are also assessed.
Pros and cons of the various schemes are thoroughly examined -
throwing light on the passionate public debate about their safety.
Written by a group of the world's leading authorities on the
subject, this comprehensive reference is essential reading for
researchers and government policy makers at Copenhagen and beyond.
