Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Has It Come to This provides insight into the rise of geoengineering onto the world stage, painting a picture of societal power in a global system. In this book, the editors decisively highlight the role of power and politics in defining technologically, economically, and politically feasible paths forward." -- Rachael Shwom ― Associate professor, Rutgers University

"Sapinski, Buck, Malm, and their trans-Atlantic team of realists, Marxists, and discourse theorists amplify how twenty-first-century citizens live under terms set by corporations, states, big science, and media in a post-truth era. Taking up the mystifications of solar geo-engineering, their essays look not so much at global ecological impacts, but ask, What are the chances for democratic climate governance?" -- Ariel Salleh ― editor of Eco-Sufficiency & Global Justice (2009)

"What are the promises and perils of geoengineering?" by Charlotte Hsu ― The University of Buffalo

"Has it Come to This? is an essential primer for understanding the context of recent geoengineering developments and should find wide appeal for both dedicated researchers and the interested public....[T]he collection provides a helpful guide for critical scholars looking to engage with what seems likely to be one of the most major debates in coming times." ― Capitalism Nature Socialism
