A Brief History of Climate Folly
By Tim Flannery & Emma Flannery
What to do about the climate? If emissions reduction is too hard and too slow, maybe science can engineer a solution?
It turns out this line of thinking is as old as humanity. From shamanism to cloud-seeding to Cold-War plans to nuke the Arctic ice cap, humans have been trying - or claiming - to influence the weather for millennia.
In this entertaining overview of history's grandest and silliest attempts at climate change, Tim and Emma Flannery address a very serious question: can we do better in the Anthropocene?
After all, our lives depend on it.
