Fixing the Sky: The Checkered History of Weather and Climate Control
As geoengineering becomes a more politically and technologically appealing approach to addressing climate change, it is critical to heed the lessons of history and understand the limits of our control over nature, said James Fleming of Colby College. Speaking at the launch of his new book, Fixing the Sky: The Checkered History of Weather and Climate Control, at the Wilson Center on October 6, Fleming brought what he called a "historically informed view of the humanities" to a growing policy discussion: the possibility of using geoengineering as a "quick fix" for the problem of climate change.
