Climate change is increasingly recognized as a global threat, and
is already contributing to record-breaking hurricanes and heat
waves. To prevent the worst impacts, attention is now turning to
climate engineering - the intentional large-scale modification of
the environment to reduce the impact of climate change. The two
principal methods involve removing some carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere (which could consume huge amounts of land and money, and
take a long period of time), and reducing the amount of solar
radiation reaching the earth's surface, perhaps by spraying
aerosols into the upper atmosphere from airplanes (which could be
done quickly but is risky and highly controversial). This is the
first book to focus on the legal aspects of these technologies:
what government approvals would be needed; how liability would be
assessed and compensation provided if something goes wrong; and how
a governance system could be structured and agreed internationally.
