Climate change seems to be an insurmountable problem. Some scientists are now advocating a more direct way of reducing future warming by reflecting more sunlight back to space, creating a thermostat in the sky. Mike Hulme argues against this ‘techno-fix’ and shows why seeking to control global climate this way is undesirable and unattainable.

Etat : Como nuevo. : En este libro, Mike Hulme argumenta en contra de las soluciones tecnológicas al cambio climático, mostrando por qué usar la ciencia para arreglar el clima global es indeseable, ingobernable e inalcanzable. En cambio, propone que la ciencia y la tecnología deberían servir para aumentar la resiliencia social ante los riesgos climáticos, mejorar la calidad del aire regional e impulsar una transición energética.
