This collection gathers a set of seminal papers from the emerging area of ethics and climate change. Topics covered include human rights, international justice, intergenerational ethics, individual responsibility, climate economics, and the ethics of geoengineering. Climate Ethics is intended to serve as a source book for general reference, and for university courses that include a focus on the human dimensions of climate change.

Essential Reading in the Ethics of Climate Change Policy
19 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Some of the best articles on climate change that I have ever read -- and I have "read then all," In particular the clarity and honesty of Henry Shue.
Highly recommended
1 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
This anthology contains the very best articles that I've encountered on the ethics of climate change. The highlights include Singer's One Atmosphere (an excerpt from One World), Sinnott-Armstrong's "It's Not My Fault" and Robert Goodin's "Selling Environmental Indulgences." The articles are accessible, and they address important moral questions ranging from who's responsible for causing climate change, to what principles of distributive justice ought to guide our policy responses to the problem.

Repetitive
18 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
There are a few ideas communicated in this book worth contemplating. However, I have two major problems with the book - hence its poor review. A) It is highly repetitive. Each essay tends to repeat much of what has already been stated in previous essays. B) From the title, one might expect this to encompass a broad range of ideas and potential approaches to the crisis. It does not. I feel as if the bulk (if not all) the essays are directed toward policy-makers. There is hardly a departure, the whole book through, from this (in my opinion) narrow viewpoint. If you are someone of influence on public policy who is looking for some idealized viewpoints, then this book may be for you. Otherwise, steer clear.
