The product of a unique collaboration between a pioneering earth scientist and an award-winning science writer, Fixing Climate takes an unconventional approach to the vitally important issue of global warming. Wallace S. Broecker, a longtime researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, wared about the possible consequences of global warming decades before the concept entered popular consciousness. Hooked on climate studies since his student days, he has learned, largely through his own findings, that climate is capable of abrupt, dramatic changes - and that even if we radically alter the amount of carbon dioxide we release we could lessen but not turn aside the great warming tide now headed our way. There is, nonetheless, a glimmer of hope in the development of new technologies that are directed not only at the reduction of carbon dioxide output but also of its harmless disposal. Told by the skilled science journalist, Robert Kunzig, Fixing Climate is a timely and informative story that makes for riveting reading.
