Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.While Washington, London and Canberra fiddle, the planet burns. It has become painfully clear that the big democracies won't take the hard decisions to halt climate change. Climate scientists now expect the worst, and they're considering a response that sounds like science fiction: climate engineering.This means large-scale manipulation of the Earth's climate using grand technological interventions, like spraying sulphur compounds into the upper atmosphere to reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the planet or transforming the chemistry of the world's oceans, so they soak up more carbon.The potential risks are enormous: disrupting the food chain, damaging the ozone layer, and losing monsoon rains in Asia, and the list goes on. It is messing with nature on a scale we've never before seen, and it's attracting a flood of interest from scientists, venture capitalists and oil companies.We have reached the end of the epoch of climate stability that allowed human civilisation to flourish and the end of the era of 'progress'.Like an angry beast woken from a long slumber, climate instability is dangerous and resists efforts to control it. In his characteristically lucid and passionate style, Clive Hamilton spells out the implications for all of us. (back cover). Codice articolo 005504
