But as the human species hurtles ever faster towards its own extinction, geoengineering as a temporary fix, to buy time for carbon removal, is a seductive idea. We are right to fear that geoengineering will be used to maintain the status quo, but is there another possible future after geoengineering?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCan these technologies and practices be used to bring carbon levels back down to pre-industrial levels? Are there possibilities for massive intentional intervention in the climate that are democratic, decentralised, or participatory?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese questions are provocative because they go against a binary that has become common sense: geoengineering is assumed to be on the side of industrial agriculture, inequality, and ecomodernism, in opposition to degrowth, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and climate justice. \u003cem\u003eThe World After Geoengineering\u003c\/em\u003e rejects this binary, to ask: what if the people seized the means of climate production?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth critical and utopian, the book examines the possible futures after geoengineering. Rejecting the idea that geoengineering is some kind of easy work-around, Holly Buck outlines the kind of social transformation that would be necessary to enact a programme of geoengineering in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853930451180,"sku":"9781788730365","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23832693482824.jpg?v=1759226269"},{"product_id":"ending-fossil-fuels-by-holly-jean-buck-9781839762345","title":"Ending Fossil Fuels","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the world, countries and companies are setting net-zero carbon emissions targets. However, “net-zero” is a term that conveniently obscures multiple futures. There could be a version of net-zero where the fossil fuel industry continues to emit tens of billions of tons of CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e into the atmosphere while establishing an industry for extracting it. Holly Buck argues that focusing on emissions diverts our attention from where we need to be looking: the point of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is time to plan for the end of fossil fuels and the companies that profit from them. Fossil fuels still supply 80% of world energy, and ending their use before ready alternatives are available poses the risk of energy poverty. The fossil fuel industry provides jobs and is also a revenue source for some frontline communities. Conventional wisdom suggests that fossil fuels will naturally become obsolete when cheaper alternatives arise, but this assumption raises as many problems as it resolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnding Fossil Fuels\u003c\/i\u003e tackles these issues seriously and sets out a roadmap offering opportunities for a more liveable, inclusive future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854476955884,"sku":"9781839762345","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16d527226b5f60479e4a847fbf5b0ed6.jpg?v=1759269652"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/holly-jean-buck.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
