书籍简介
这是一部引人入胜的影片，介绍了地球工程的危险和希望以及我们在变暖的地球上的潜在未来。
全球变暖的风险迫在眉睫，而且潜在巨大风险。没有化石燃料的困难是令人生畏的，甚至可能是无法克服的。因此，我们迫切需要重新思考我们对危机的反应。为了满足这一需求，一个规模虽小但影响力越来越大的科学家小组正在探索人类计划干预气候系统的建议:在平流层遮蔽阳光，培育能进行光合作用的浮游生物，由无人驾驶的船只编队向云层播种。这些就是地球工程技术——正如奥利弗·莫顿在这本有远见的书中所说的那样，忽视这些技术是不负责任的，就像愚蠢地认为它们是解决问题的简单方法一样。
《被改造的星球》探索了历史、政治和地球工程的前沿科学。莫顿权衡了这些有争议的策略带来的希望和风险，并将它们放在了尽可能大的背景下。上个世纪地球发生的变化——云层和土壤，风和海洋，氮和碳的巨大循环——超乎我们大多数人的想象。认识到这些变化不仅能让我们明白应对全球变暖需要做什么，也能让我们明白我们与自然的关系。
气候变化不仅仅是21世纪的决定性政治挑战之一。莫顿理清了我们未能应对气候变化挑战的影响，并重新带来了我们可以应对的希望。他谈到了将人类视为一种自然力量所带来的深深的恐惧，并问这可能意味着什么——它可能要求我们做什么——去尝试并将这种力量用于善处。
A fascinating look at the perils and promise of geoengineering and our potential future on a warming planet
The risks of global warming are pressing and potentially vast. The difficulty of doing without fossil fuels is daunting, possibly even insurmountable. So there is an urgent need to rethink our responses to the crisis. To meet that need, a small but increasingly influential group of scientists is exploring proposals for planned human intervention in the climate system: a stratospheric veil against the sun, the cultivation of photosynthetic plankton, fleets of unmanned ships seeding the clouds. These are the technologies of geoengineering―and as Oliver Morton argues in this visionary book, it would be as irresponsible to ignore them as it would be foolish to see them as a simple solution to the problem.
The Planet Remade explores the history, politics, and cutting-edge science of geoengineering. Morton weighs both the promise and perils of these controversial strategies and puts them in the broadest possible context. The past century’s changes to the planet―to the clouds and the soils, to the winds and the seas, to the great cycles of nitrogen and carbon―have been far more profound than most of us realize. Appreciating those changes clarifies not just the scale of what needs to be done about global warming, but also our relationship to nature.
Climate change is not just one of the twenty-first century’s defining political challenges. Morton untangles the implications of our failure to meet the challenge of climate change and reintroduces the hope that we might. He addresses the deep fear that comes with seeing humans as a force of nature, and asks what it might mean―and what it might require of us―to try and use that force for good.
名人推选
“这本书深深植根于历史，对未来充满智慧和乐观，是迄今为止关于地球工程精彩的书。”——大卫·基思，哈佛大学，《气候工程案例》的作者
"Deeply rooted in history and smartly optimistic about the future, this is--by far--the best book yet on geoengineering."--David Keith, Harvard University and author of A Case for Climate Engineering
很少有科学书籍比这更重要、更及时、写得更漂亮. . . .《再造的地球》是一本罗列了所有事实的书，非常清晰，而且篇幅很长，得出了一个结论，但让你自己做决定。——科里·多克托罗《Boing Boing》
"Few science books are more important, timely, and beautifully written. . . . [The Planet Remade] is a book that lays out all the facts, with great clarity and at some length, draws a conclusion, but leaves you to make up your mind."---Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
