Ethics and Climate Change
Early in May an interesting conference took place at the University of Washington:
Billed as a major jump start to public discussion of ethics and climate change, philosophers, scientists and political philosophers were invited.
Here are abstracts for some of the presentations.
Commentary on the conference and links to some of the full papers is here at the WeatherChannel’s blog.
One of the most interesting presenters to readers here is Henry Shue, whose work includes the ethics of climate change as well as war, its conduct and its rationale. Here is a 4 year old piece in Dissent on the Debate on Torture.
