In demonstrating the moral imperative to act on climate change, the book’s ethical analysis is not an end in itself, but a means to clarifying policy. Drawing on the philosophy of science, the book examines our obligations to future generations and how we ought to make decisions when there is catastrophic risk but its probability is unknown.
