It is already clear that climate engineering raises numerous troubling
ethical issues. The pertinent question yet to be addressed is how the
ethical issues raised by climate engineering compare to those raised
by alternative proposals for tackling climate change. This volume is
the first to put the ethical issues raised by climate engineering into
a comprehensive, comparative context so that the key ethical
challenges of these technologies can be better measured against those
of alternative climate policies . Addressing the topic specifically
through the lens of justice, contributors include both advocates of
climate intervention research and its sceptics. The volume includes a
helpful blend of the theoretical and the practical, with contributions
from authors in philosophy, engineering, public policy, social
science, geography, sustainable development studies, economics, and
climate studies. This cross-disciplinary collection provides the start
of an important and more contextualized “second generation”
analysis of climate engineering and the difficult public policy
decisions that lie ahead.
