Publisher's Synopsis
Climate Engineering is a topic that will affect everyone and will be at the forefront of scientific discovery for at least the next few decades. The Paris agreement in 2015 stated that the UN's target for temperature increase is 'well below 2 degrees C (above pre-industrial background)' and that we must 'pursue efforts to limit temperature increases to 1.5 degrees C'. Written by one of the leading active researchers into climate engineering this vital textbook will educate those interested in climate engineering, particularly those studying it from a variety of perspectives, and is written in an unbiased manner and provides a detailed description of the various technologies being discussed that might be deployed to ameliorate or reverse the effects of climate change.
