Description
Climate change has become an observable fact of life, with greenhouse gas emissions increasing and global warming becoming more apparent. In this thought-provoking book, philosopher Dale Jamieson explores what climate change is, why efforts to stop it have failed, and why it still matters that we take action. Jamieson argues that our failure to prevent or respond significantly to climate change reflects a broader issue with our systems of practical reason, politics, and cognitive capacities. He examines the scientific, historical, economic, and political dimensions of climate change, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of this complex problem. While it can be difficult to believe that individual actions matter in the face of such a daunting challenge, Jamieson shows that there are steps we can take to slow climate change, adapt to its effects, and restore a sense of agency while living meaningful lives.
