"Praise for the first edition: ""Williston's The Ethics of Climate Change persuasively shows how analytic philosophy can break free from the contemporary American Disenlightenment and contribute to the values and virtues of a sustainable future."" - Martin Schönfeld, University of South Florida, USA ""Williston has provided an admirably clear, concise, and well-informed introduction to climate ethics that does not shy away from taking positions. This is an excellent introduction to the subject, both for students and for anyone concerned with one of the most profound challenges of our time."" - Dale Jamieson, New York University, USA ""An exceptionally comprehensive and judicious exploration of an ominously important cluster of issues, embedding rigorous but lucid philosophical arguments in the non-ideal political realities of the fraught international negotiations. Williston probes insightfully and in a delightfully lively style – I know of nothing else this engaging for introductory or intermediate students."" - Henry Shue, University of Oxford, UK"
