Professor Xavier Landes' new book, published in French as part of the renowned Que sais-je? collection, provides an accessible introduction to geoengineering and the manipulation of climate. Building on his earlier work, Engineering and Governing the Climate, Landes aims to raise public awareness about the risks and realities of technologies like carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management. Despite growing research in these areas, Landes notes that the French-speaking world is largely unaware of their potential and dangers. This concise book not only explores the key techniques but also tackles issues of justice, governance, and the ethical concerns surrounding climate manipulation.
