Publisher's Synopsis
What do we do if our best efforts to limit the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere fall short?

Environmental futurist Jamais Cascio explores the implications of geoengineering in this collection of thought-provoking essays. Is our civilization ready to take on the task of re-engineering the planet?
