My new book, How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth’s Climate, has just been published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. You can order it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, through your favorite independent bookstore.

Early praise:

“In a genre dominated by doomsday scenarios, Goodell's treatment is refreshingly lighthearted… and his provocative account achieves a fine balance between the inventor's enthusiasm and the scientist's skepticism.” —Publisher's Weekly

“This could be the most important book written about climate.” —James Lovelock, author of Gaia and The Vanishing Face of Gaia

“How to Cool the Planet is thoughtful, informative, and darkly entertaining. It's the best treatment of this important (and scary) topic you can find.” —Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe

“Goodell's book is a must-read....” —Joe Romm, Climate Progress

BusinessWeek gives How to Cool the Planet a four-stars.

The San Francisco Chronicle calls How to Cool the Planet a "lucid, fascinating review" of geoengineering researchers, technology, and geopolitics.

I talked about my new book recently on NPR’s Fresh Air.

Read the Grist interview: "It's a bad idea for geoengineering to be the equivalent of the Pompeii sex room."
