How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth's Climate

摘要

Two new books serve as guides to the latest tactic against climate change: geoengineering, the act of deliberately manipulating Earth's climate to cool it down (see story on Page 16).rnKintisch, a reporter for the journal Science, dubs geoengineering "planet-hacking." It's an apt description for sci-fi-sounding fixes, such as spewing sulfur particles into the atmosphere or build-rning carbon dioxide-sucking machines.
