Learning to Conceive of Climate Change as a Truly Global and Moral Problem

Veröffentlichungen: Beitrag in BuchBeitrag in Konferenzband

Abstract

Climate change is a fact that has been underpinned by empirical studies, and this fact is about to change significantly the living conditions on planet Earth. Even though climate change is not the result of ill-will or bad intent, there is a continuous accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to carbon-based industries, high emission in various industrial sectors, and a growing world population. Raising temperatures cause severe and extreme weather events, from the melting of the ices at the poles, to a host of negative side-effects so severe that today statistics account even for human victims of climate change.
