Reviews

'The Ethics of Global Climate Change is the first collection to engage the full range of ethical issues posed by global climate change. With original, insightful and accessible contributions from many of the best researchers currently working on the ethics of climate change, it clarifies the ethical dimensions of global climate change and highlights the implications of ethical considerations for both public policy and personal action.' Ronald Sandler, Northeastern University 'Featuring both essays that clearly outline key ethical issues in the mainstream of debate (and, moreover, engage crisply with others in the volume), alongside contributions that offer alternative perspectives on persistent and troubling problems, this collection will have undoubted value as an introduction for readers coming anew to the ethics of climate change after Copenhagen.' Christopher Groves, Environmental Ethics The fifteen selections in this Arnold anthology on climate change ... have much to recommend them ... This book presents the best of CC ethical scholarship ... Kristin Shrader-Frechette, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews An excellent resource for upper-level students and professionals in environmental ethics and, one would hope, for people advising political leaders ...
