Wilson Quarterly “Surveying the World of Ideas“

The WQ’s recent article “The Climate Engineers,” made it to the journal’s online version, and reading it reminded me what I’ve been missing out on in the last three years since I let my subscription lapse. The article looks at the entire history of Climate Engineering, from the 1800s to the present day, from military ventures to famous geoengineers and their futile attempts to control the weather. It even includes the work of Benrnard Vonnegut, Kurt Vonnegut’s older brother, and Kurt’s literary response to the weaponization of climate in his book Cat’s Cradle.

My first issue of this extraordinarily well-written, exhaustively in-depth quarterly journal arrived today. It will easily keep me happy through December, until the next issue arrives in January.
