For decades scientists and environmentalists have sounded the alarm about the effects of global warming. We are now past the tipping point. As floods, storms, and extreme temperatures become our daily reality, "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" efforts aren't enough anymore. In Hacking Planet Earth, New York Times bestselling author Thomas Kostigen takes readers to the frontlines of geoengineering projects that scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and other visionaries around the world are developing to solve the problems associated with climate change.
From giant parasols hovering above the Earth to shield us from an unforgiving sun, to lasers shooting up into clouds to coax out much-needed water, Kostigen introduces readers to this inspiring work and the people who are spearheading it. These futurist, far- thinking, world-changing ideas will save us, and Hacking Planet Earth offers readers their new vision for the future.

A timely contribution to the climate change debate: The United States' withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and the emergence of the Green New Deal has further fueled ongoing public discussion about combatting climate change.
Nationally recognized expert on climate change: Kostigen wrote one of the first bestselling books on the topic of climate change, the New York Times bestseller The Green Book: The Everyday Guide to Saving the Planet One Simple Step at a Time (2007), as well as a book on climate preparedness, National Geographic Extreme Weather Survival Guide: Understand, Prepare, Survive, Recover (which won the prestigious Louis J. Battan Author's Award).
Hacking Planet Earth has been optioned for a television series: The company Nutopia is recognized for producing groundbreaking shows, including the extraordinary twelve-part series Mankind: The Story of All of Us for the History channel and the Emmy Award-winning PBS series How We Got to Now.
