Book recommendation: James Garvey’s Ethics of Climate Change

During my mini-vacation I read philosopher James Garvey’s book, The Ethics of Climate Change, which I highly recommend. It very lucidly lays out the moral issues and the kinds of responses they call for. I thought his discussion of what we know about the impact of climate change and how we should act in the face of different types and degrees of uncertainty to be particularly persuasive. Prof. Garvey, along with others, blogs here.
