Paperback. Zustand: Good. After decades of debate about global warming, the fact of the climate crisis is finally widely accepted. People at all scales?from the household to the global market?are attempting to govern climate to deal with its causes and impacts. Although the stakes are different now, governing climate is centuries old. In this book, Zeke Baker develops a genealogy of climate science that traces the relationship between those who have created knowledge of the climate and those who have attempted to gain power and govern society, right up to the present, historic moment.

Climate is governed well when the knowledge that is made about climate conforms to the values, goals, and ambitions of a society; it is governed badly when a depoliticized climatic knowledge is used to dictate the terms by which we must imagine our social futures.'--Mike Hulme, author of Climate Change Isn't Everything: Liberating Climate Politics from Alarmism.…
