Good and thought provoking book.,

This review is from: The Ethics of Climate Change: Right and Wrong in a Warming World (Think Now) (Paperback)
After being forced fed facts of climate change by the media I just assumed we should do something about it, but never really thought beyond scientific or economical grounds.
This book cuts straight to moral questions which I had never considered before and in language everyone can understand.

An excellent introduction to both ethics and climate change,

This review is from: The Ethics of Climate Change: Right and Wrong in a Warming World (Think Now) (Paperback)
Books on climate change are fashionable right now. The basic fact is settled: our carbon emissions are changing the global weather system, with deleterious and potentially catastrophic results. But few books address the moral questions this raises. Whose responsibility is it? What should we do about it? Why should we even care?
James Garvey presents a careful discussion of just these issues. He explains the science clearly and concisely, but his focus is on moral philosophy. It is as good an introduction to this topic as it is to climate change. Witty without being frivolous, explanatory but never condescending, it is engaging and challenging in equal measure.

A solid and well argued read,

This review is from: The Ethics of Climate Change: Right and Wrong in a Warming World (Think Now) (Paperback)
Being a novice in the world of philosophy, I found this book to be a thought provoking and worthy read as an introduction to climate change without the trappings of being forced fed a particular opinion. For me the down to earth approach to the issue worked well, with balanced arguements littered throughout the text that ultimately proved to be much more than just a book to read on the train to work. Highly recommended.
