Fixing Everything? Historicizing Climate Intervention

Referent

James R. Fleming, Colby College Waterville (Maine)

Abstract

This presentation traces historical pathways leading to the contemporary grand challenge of climate change. It offers a critique of "barking mad" technological fixes that seek to intervene in and control climate and unpacks the limitations of an "interventionist" Anthropocene - the proposed, but sorely under-conceptualized new era that, in its reductionism, determinism and bald anthropocentrism, is pofoundly disturbing.
