The Geoengineering Option
Victor, David G.; Morgan, M. Granger; Apt, Jay; Steinbruner, John; Rich, Katharine
Foreign Affairs
, March/April 2009, v88, #2, pp64-76
"In this article the authors consider a possible solution to the problems presented by global warming and climate change. They contend that the pace of global warming has accelerated and that international authorities will be forced to take emergency measures to combat the impact of greenhouse gases. They also examine the possibility that technology can be developed that would alter the global climate and return it to a more beneficial state. This process, known as "geoengineering," is examined from a number of different points of view."
