Facing a potentially bleak future, the question that confronts humanity is whether the best of bad alternatives may be to counter global warming through human-engineered climate interventions. In this book, eleven prominent authorities on climate change consider the legal, policy, and philosophical issues presented by geoengineering. The book asks: When, if ever, are decisions to embark on potentially risky climate modification projects justified? If such decisions can be justified, in a world without a central governing authority, who should authorize such projects and by what moral and legal right? If states or private actors undertake geoengineering ventures absent the blessing of the international community, what recourse do the rest of us have? Offers diverse perspectives from leading environmentalists, international lawyers and students of ethics and climate change Provides a specialized case study on the problems of globalization Gives a number of very salient explorations of the role of international law and institutions in the governance of technology LENGTH: 328 pages DIMENSIONS: 229 x 152 x 17 mm WEIGHT: 0.44kg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
