Description
The Planet Remade by Oliver Morton explores the complex and often contentious issue of geoengineering as a potential solution to global warming. This thought-provoking book examines the history, science, and politics behind these proposals, weighing both their promise and perils. Morton delves into the profound changes that have occurred on our planet over the past century, revealing how human activities have reshaped the Earth's systems. By understanding these transformations, we can better grasp the scale of the challenge posed by climate change and our relationship with nature. The author also addresses the deep fear that comes with recognizing humanity's impact on the environment, and explores what it might mean to use this force for good. Through a nuanced analysis, Morton untangles the implications of geoengineering and its potential role in addressing global warming.
