Dobry
Książka, która była czytana, ale nadal jest w dobrym stanie. Na okładce widoczne są nieznaczne ślady używania, np. zadrapania, ale książka nie jest rozerwana i nie ma dziur. Przy książkach w twardej oprawie mogą brakować obwoluty. Większość stron jest nieuszkodzona tzn., że ewentualne zagięcia lub rozdarcia są sporadyczne, podkreślenia ołówkiem są minimalne i nie ma żadnych zaznaczeń markerem czy notatek na marginesach. Książka ma wszystkie strony. Aby poznać więcej szczegółów i opis uszkodzeń lub wad, zobacz aukcję sprzedającego.

Keith deserves credit for directing attention to ideas he knows are dangerous.Accepting the concept of the Anthropocene means accepting that humans have the responsibility tofind technological fixes for disasters they have created.

Synopsis
A leading scientist argues that we must consider deploying climate engineering technology to slow the pace of global warming. Climate engineering-which could slow the pace of global warming by injecting reflective particles into the upper atmosphere-has emerged in recent years as an extremely controversial technology. And for good reason- it carries unknown risks and it may undermine commitments to conserving energy. Some critics also view it as an immoral human breach of the natural world. The latter objection, David Keith argues in A Scientist's Case for Climate Engineering , is groundless; we have been using technology to alter our environment for years. But he agrees that there are large issues at stake. A leading scientist long concerned about climate change, Keith offers no naive proposal for an easy fix to what is perhaps the most challenging question of our time; climate engineering is no silver bullet. But he argues that after decades during which very little progress has been made in reducing carbon emissions we must put this technology on the table and consider it responsibly. That doesn't mean we will deploy it, and it doesn't mean that we can abandon efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But we must understand fully what research needs to be done and how the technology might be designed and used. This book provides a clear and accessible overview of what the costs and risks might be, and how climate engineering might fit into a larger program for managing climate change., A leading scientist argues that we must consider deploying climate engineering technology to slow the pace of global warming.
