Dear all,
Of interest to some, a book I co-edited with Holly Jean Buck and Andreas
Malm is coming out on November 13 with Rutgers University Press. It
provides critical views of the many geoengineering approches that are
proposed to address the climate crisis.

*Has It Come to This: Promises and Perils of Geoengineering on the Brink*
Geoengineering is the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the
Earth's climate system in an attempt to mitigate the adverse effects of
global warming. Now that climate emergency is upon us, claims that
geoengineering is inevitable are rapidly proliferating. How did we get
into this situation where the most extreme path now seems a plausible
development? Is it an accurate representation of where we are at? Who is
this “we” who is talking? What options make it onto the table? Which are
left out? Whom does geoengineering serve? Why is the ensemble of
projects that goes by that name so salient, even though the community of
researchers and advocates is remarkably small? These are some of the
questions that the thinkers contributing to this volume are exploring
from perspectives ranging from sociology and geography to ethics and
Indigenous studies. The editors set out this diverse collection of
voices not as a monolithic, unified take on geoengineering, but as a
place where creative thinkers, students, and interested environmental
and social justice advocates can explore nuanced ideas in more than 240
characters.
