Under a White Sky The Nature of the Future
Under a White Sky The Nature of the Future
Embedded Files
That man should have dominion;over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; is a prophecy that has hardened into fact. So pervasive are human impacts on the planet that it’s said we live in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene.
In Under a White Sky, Elizabeth Kolbert takes a hard look at the new world we are creating. Along the way; she meets biologists who are trying to preserve the world’s rarest fish; which lives in a single tiny pool in the middle of the Mojave; engineers who are turning carbon emissions to stone in Iceland; Australian researchers who are trying to develop a ;super coral; that can survive on a hotter globe; and physicists who are contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere to cool the earth.
