Abstract

Assigning climate scientists much of the blame for the failure to adequately address the challenges posed by climate change, Pielke argues that we should focus on adapting to the potential shifts. Kintisch discusses the claimed benefits and possible consequences of proposals for radical interventions to engineer the climate while also profiling people promoting or questioning such schemes.
