"An exploration of the cutting-edge technology that will enable us to confront the realities of climate change"-- Provided by publisher.
Environmentally, we are now past the tipping point. As floods, storms, and extreme temperatures become our daily reality, "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" efforts aren't enough anymore. Kostigen takes readers to the frontlines of geoengineering projects being developed to solve the problems associated with climate change and global warming. From giant parasols hovering above the Earth to shield us from an unforgiving sun, to lasers shooting up into clouds to coax out much-needed water, Kostigen offers readers their new vision for the future. -- adapted from jacket
