Infos

This comprehensive volume serves as a complete and concise view of climate engineering, where geoengineering is an umbrella term for human interventions that change and modify the earth's climate system. It offers in-depth coverage of how human activity is shaping the earth more than natural forces; where it can be seen as a way of redesigning and modifying the atmosphere of the planet. It offers more viable solutions for climate engineering through theory, technology, and practice, as they relate to established technologies as well as recent and future advancements.
