    Technological interventions aimed at mitigating climate change have emerged as both a scientific frontier and an ethical debate. Geoengineering encompasses strategies to manage solar radiation and carbon removal to counteract global warming. Geoengineering and Climate Change explores the science, policy, and controversy surrounding large-scale climate interventions. The book discusses carbon capture, solar radiation management, and ocean fertilization. It also examines governance, environmental risks, and moral implications. By combining scientific evidence with policy analysis, it provides readers with a balanced view of the potential and limitations of geoengineering in addressing the climate crisis.
