The Ethics of Climate Change: An Introduction delves into the intricate and pressing ethical dilemmas surrounding climate change, widely recognized as the most significant threat to humanity today. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to include two new chapters on the intersection of climate change and capitalism and climate change and law. In this comprehensive text, Williston addresses crucial questions such as:
Has humanity entered the Anthropocene epoch?
Is climate change primarily an ethical or an economic issue?
Can capitalism be reformed to prevent climate catastrophe?
What are the moral failings of international climate diplomacy?
What are the primary causes of political inaction and climate denial?
Should tort law be used to sue those responsible for climate change?
What are the principles of intragenerational and intergenerational justice?
Is geoengineering an ethically justifiable response to climate change?
Throughout the textbook, case studies are presented to provide a philosophical foundation for understanding this highly relevant and interdisciplinary topic. Students studying applied ethics, global justice, sustainability, geography, and politics will find this textbook invaluable in their exploration of the ethical dimensions of climate change.
