Climate change confronts us with our most pressing challenges
today. The global consensus is clear that human activity is mostly
to blame for its harmful effects, but there is disagreement about
what should be done. While no shortage of proposals from ecological
footprints and the polluter pays principle to adaptation technology
and economic reforms, each offers a solution - but is climate
change a problem we can solve? In this provocative new book, these
popular proposals for ending or overcoming the threat of climate
change are shown to offer no easy escape and each rest on an
important mistake. Thom Brooks argues that a future environmental
catastrophe is an event we can only delay or endure, but not avoid.
This raises new ethical questions about how we should think about
climate change. How should we reconceive sustainability without a
status quo? Why is action more urgent and necessary than previously
thought? What can we do to motivate and inspire hope? Many have
misunderstood the kind of problem that climate change presents - as
well as the daunting challenges we must face and overcome. Climate
Change Ethics for an Endangered World is a critical guide on how we
can better understand the fragile world around us before it is too
late. This innovative book will be of great interest to students
and scholars of climate change, climate justice, environmental
policy and environmental ethics.
