Description

Climate Matters: A Philosophical Approach to Climate Change Ethics in a Warming World. Esteemed philosopher John Broome offers a fresh perspective on climate change policy, examining the issue through the lens of moral philosophy. He explores what universal standards of goodness and justice require of us as citizens and governments in the face of climate change. This thought-provoking analysis will challenge and enlighten readers, offering simple yet effective ideas for confronting this pressing global issue. Broome's work delves into the science of greenhouse gases and the logic of cap and trade, revealing how everyday decision-making principles can inform our response to climate change. His conclusions may surprise eco-conscious readers with their implications for individual responsibility, while policymakers will grapple with his analysis of obligations to future generations.
