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.
