"In this volume, Stephen M. Gardiner and David A. Weisbach present arguments for and
against the relevance of ethics to global climate policy. Gardiner argues that climate
change is fundamentally an ethical issue, since it is an early instance of a distinctive
challenge to ethical action (the perfect moral storm), and ethical concerns (such
as with justice, rights, political legitimacy, community and humanity's relationship
to nature) are at the heart of many of the decisions that need to be made. Consequently,
climate policy that ignores ethics is at risk of "solving" the wrong problem, perhaps
even to the extreme of endorsing forms of climate extortion. This is especially true
of policy based on narrow forms of economic self-interest. By contrast, Weisbach argues
that existing ethical theories are not well suited to addressing climate change. As
applied to climate change, existing ethical theories suffer from internal logical
problems and suggest infeasible strategies. Rather than following failed theories
or waiting indefinitely for new and better ones, Weisbach argues that central motivation
for climate policy is straightforward: it is in their common interest for people and
nations to agree to policies that dramatically reduce emissions to prevent terrible
harms"--The publisher
