About this item Product Description In recent years, experiments in geoengineering – intentionally manipulating the Earth’s climate to reduce global warming – have become the focus of a vital debate about the intended and unintended consequences of innovation, raising profound social, political and ethical questions. This book explores these issues through the lens of the research project SPICE (Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering), one of the first major geoengineering studies worldwide which aims to put particles high into the atmosphere to cut the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface. Drawing on three years of sociological research working with the scientists investigating the idea of geoengineering, the book examines how experiments become controversial and why many are calling for the scientific community and civil society to rethink how we govern emerging technologies. It illustrates broader dynamics that are highly relevant to wider debates on science and technology governance and the responsibilities of scientists to take better care of the futures they help bring about. This book takes a critical stance on existing assumptions about ethical issues in science, giving students, researchers and the general reader interested in the place of science in contemporary society a compelling framework for future thinking and discussion.
