{"product_id":"engineering-and-governing-the-climate-xavier-landes-9781538145609","title":"Engineering and Governing the Climate: Ethical and Political Issues","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeoengineering increasingly appears to be crucial for future climate policies. Societies and governments throughout the world have so far failed to sufficiently curb greenhouse gas emissions necessary for averting dramatic global warming and climate change. This book introduces readers to the concepts and methods of climate engineering by presenting the techniques and risks, as well as the political and ethical issues. This timely text tackles topics such as arguments for and against altering the climate on purpose, the uncertainties of those technologies, the hurdles of international coordination, and the duties towards future generations. Landes engages with global cases, encompassing reforestation efforts; prevention of runaway planetary warming; and avoidance of climate catastrophe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistinctive features of the book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSituating climate engineering within the context of the Anthropocene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting up an evaluative framework used for assessing climate engineering methods thoroughly from three angles: feasibility, permissibility, and, preferability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA taxonomy of the different methods of climate engineering: carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management, each with dedicated chapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA structured and critical review of the different justifications for and oppositions to climate engineering R\u0026amp;D as well as deployment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEngineering and Governing the Climate: Ethical and Political Issues \u003c\/i\u003eis an essential read for all those working in environmental studies, climate policy, and building a sustainable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xavier Landes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 153814560X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538145609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Xavier Landes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520537936127,"sku":"9781538145609","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ad3de9e-874c-4a7d-b8e7-1c61897ec809.jpg?v=1762885680","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/engineering-and-governing-the-climate-xavier-landes-9781538145609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
