Samenvatting
Provides an introduction to the ethics of climate change. This book considers a climate science and moral philosophy, ultimately finding a way into the many possible positions associated with climate change. It is also a call for doing something about the moral demands placed on both governments and individuals by the fact of climate change.
The debate about the existence of climate change seems finally at an end. We now have to decide what to do about it. Here, James Garvey argues that the ultimate rationale for action on climate change cannot be simply economic, political, scientific or social, though no doubt our decisions should be informed by such things. Instead, climate change is largely a moral problem. What we should do about it depends on what matters to us and what we think is right.This book is an introduction to the ethics of climate change. It considers a little climate science and a lot of moral philosophy, ultimately finding a way into the many possible positions associated with climate change.
