Brief History of Climate Folly

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

What to do about the climate? If emissions reduction is too hard and too slow, maybe science can engineer a solution?

It turns out this line of thinking is as old as humanity. From shamanism to cloud-seeding to Cold-War plans to nuke the Arctic ice cap, humans have been trying - or claiming - to influence the weather for millennia.

In this entertaining overview of history's grandest and silliest attempts at climate change, Tim and Emma Flannery address a very serious question: can we do better in the Anthropocene?

After all, our lives depend on it.
