A Brief History of Climate Folly by Tim Flannery
$27.00 Inc GST
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.
An outrageous history of dreamers and schemers who wanted to change the climate, from one of Australia’s most recognised names in nature writing
