| FIXING CLIMATE | |
|
 Wallace Broecker is the ‘maverick’ scientist who first warned of global warming way back in 1975. Naturally, he was then written off as a kook – or worse. Now he’s seen as a visionary.
So it goes with those who first see the future coming. This book is about how Broecker and his like-thinking colleagues unraveled the complex story of how our climate works, taking in large time-scale events like ice ages, planetary dynamics such as orbit variances and mega-systems like the oceanic ‘conveyor belt’.
Beyond explaining what has happened, the authors also propose a solution – giant ‘artificial trees’ designed to pull huge quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere. This is nothing less than a ‘must-read’ for anyone who really wants to know what on earth is happening to the earth and those of us who live on it.
