Description

As global warming impacts escalate and time becomes limited, the debate over grand technological interventions grows more urgent. This book from Routledge examines the complex ethics of geoengineering, exploring how attempts to manipulate Earth's physical and biological systems could change our future. Scientists and politicians are increasingly discussing methods to combat climate change through large-scale actions. These include spraying particles into the stratosphere to block sunlight or enhancing natural biological systems to increase carbon dioxide removal. Because these technologies are highly speculative and scientific development is in its early stages, understanding the implications for justice, legitimacy, and governance is vital. This text provides a necessary look at the potential risks and ethical dilemmas posed by these proposed interventions. It is an essential resource for those studying environmental engineering, climate policy, and the societal impacts of large-scale technological solutions to the warming planet.

Analyzes proposed methods like stratospheric particle spraying to block incoming sunlight.

Explores biological enhancement strategies designed to withdraw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
