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. It is also a call for
action, for doing something about the moral demands placed on both
governments and individuals by the fact of climate change. This is
a book about choices, responsibility, and where the moral weight
falls on our warming world. Articulate, provocative and
stimulating, this timely book will make a significant contribution
to one of the most important debates of our time .
