Neal Stephenson's most recent novel, Termination shock describes a near-future world where climate change's effects are becoming more visible and obvious. Without spoiling too much, it explores the politics of aerosol (sulpher) injection into the upper atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the planet.
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoI'm going to have to read that book, because that's exactly the path we're going down. Without geoengineering, we're looking at a world probably ~ 4c warmer by 2100, and when developed nations start feeling real pain, I guarantee you this will be tried.
- jmugan 4y agoI started reading that book but was disappointed. I live in central Texas, and I didn't recognize the picture he painted. Yeah, it's hot and often terrible, but his terrible didn't ring true and took me out of the novel. E.g, Waco as a big forest and fire ants eating electrical wires (that's crazy ants that do that).
