A Perfect Moral Storm: The Ethical Tragedy of Climate Change

Monday, July 4, 2011 - 18:00 to 19:30

Sydney Ideas and the Environmental Humanities Group, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney present a public talk by Associate Professor Stephen Gardiner, Department of Philosophy and the Program on Values in Society at the University of Washington, Seattle

Despite decades of awareness, we are currently accelerating hard into the climate problem in a way that defies standard explanations. The key issue is that the current generation is in a position to pass on most of the costs of its behaviour (and especially the most serious harms) to the global poor, future generations and nonhuman nature.

Venue: Law School Foyer, Eastern Avenue, the University of Sydney
