The Climate Change Debate - by David Coady & R Corry (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Of the two kinds of philosophical questions - epistemic and ethical - raised by the public debate about climate change, professional philosophers have dealt almost exclusively with the ethical. This book is the first to address both and examine the relationship between them.
