Imagining Climate Engineering
Dreaming of the Designer Climate
Jeroen Oomen
Book Description

This book highlights the increasing attention for climate engineering, a
set of speculative technologies aimed to counter global warming. What is
the future of the global climate? And who gets to decide—or even
design—this future?

*Imagining Climate Engineering* explores how and why climate engineering
became a potential approach to anthropogenic climate change. Specifically,
it showcases how views on the future of climate change and climate
engineering evolved by addressing the ways in which climate engineers view
its respective physical, political, and moral domains. Tracing the
intellectual and political history of dreams to control the weather and
climate as well as the discovery of climate change, Jeroen Oomen examines
the imaginative parameters within which contemporary climate engineering
research takes place. Introducing the analytical metaphor ‘ways of seeing’
to describe explicit or implicit visions, understandings, and foci that
facilitate a particular understanding of what is at stake, *Imagining
Climate Engineering *shows how visions on the knowability of climate tie
into moral and political convictions about the possibility and desirability
of engineering the climate.

Marrying science and technology studies and the environmental humanities,
Oomen provides crucial insights for the future of the climate change debate
for scholars and students.
