Climate Change
Nov 15, 2021
3 areas that deserve a ponder when combating the climate crisis.
on harm
- is everyone equally harmed?
- who should be blamed for the harm?
- how do we measure harm?
- will the unintended consequences of solutions to climate change cause more harm?
on justice
- how do we reconcile the inquity amongst nations in their capability to mitigate climate change?
- how do we reconcile the fact that energy consumption/capita is highest in the most developed countries? should they have a responsibility in reducing consumption?
on culture
- we can each do something now to mitigate climate change (reduce plastic consumption, switch to electric cars or stop meat eating). So why don’t we?
- how does culture impact how we consume “stuff”?
