Hack the Planet: Science's Best Hope--Or Worst Nightmare--For Averting Climate Catastrophe by Eli Kintisch

Hack the Planet is a superbly written and reported chronicle of a remarkable story. In just a few years ‘geoengineering’ fixes to climate change–simulating volcanoes, CO2-sucking, cloud-brightening–have gone from crackpot to considered ideas. Eli Kintisch’s book is boundlessly smarter and more deeply researched on this topic than Superfreakonomics. Expect to hear much more in coming years from the planet-hackers–and from Kintisch.
