The international community is not taking the action necessary to
avert dangerous increases in greenhouse gases. Facing a potentially
bleak future, the question that confronts humanity is whether the
best of bad alternatives may be to counter global warming through
human-engineered climate interventions. In this book, eleven
prominent authorities on climate change consider the legal, policy
and philosophical issues presented by geoengineering. The book
asks: when, if ever, are decisions to embark on potentially risky
climate modification projects justified? If such decisions can be
justified, in a world without a central governing authority, who
should authorize such projects and by what moral and legal right?
If states or private actors undertake geoengineering ventures
absent the blessing of the international community, what recourse
do the rest of us have?
