This book highlights the increasing attention for climate
engineering, a set of speculative technologies aimed to counter
global warming. What is the future of the global climate? And who
gets to decide-or even design-this future? Imagining Climate
Engineering explores how and why climate engineering became a
potential approach to anthropogenic climate change. Specifically,
it showcases how views on the future of climate change and climate
engineering evolved by addressing the ways in which climate
engineers view its respective physical, political, and moral
domains. Tracing the intellectual and political history of dreams
to control the weather and climate as well as the discovery of
climate change, Jeroen Oomen examines the imaginative parameters
within which contemporary climate engineering research takes place.
Introducing the analytical metaphor 'ways of seeing' to describe
explicit or implicit visions, understandings, and foci that
facilitate a particular understanding of what is at stake,
Imagining Climate Engineering shows how visions on the knowability
of climate tie into moral and political convictions about the
possibility and desirability of engineering the climate. Marrying
science and technology studies and the environmental humanities,
Oomen provides crucial insights for the future of the climate
change debate for scholars and students.
