some comments on ethics of climate change
14
rectangle width = population, height = average per capita emissions from that region
16
cumulative emissions 1880 – 2004 – who did it
17
ethical considerations: 20 yrs of awareness and emissions are increasing everywhere global problem global solution? future generations – pay now for potential benefits later, or pay later (larger amount?, cannot control later?, hope for the technological solution?, stop gap measures?) CC policy should not aggravate existing disparities between regions who should pay - ability to pay, polluter pays, contribution to the problem should we limit GHG production via international agreements? food production - CC will adversely affect mainly poor countries ethics of special interests - e.g. oil producing countries is global warming a global blessing? ecological protection - e.g., what is a forest, reforestation vs ecosystems e.g. Kyoto defines deforestation as a loss of 80-90% of an areas tree cover --> can log out 3/4 of a forest without penalty clear cutting and tree replacement does not count as deforestation technology transfer human health - vector born diseases and public health be wary of proposals for action that do not respond to the problem if climate change is not caused by humans, what are the ethical issues?

Total global energy demand 70% increase (International Energy Outlook 2006)

1971 - 2003 by region; mtoe = million tonnes of oil equivalent
27
Global Energy Useage industrialized nations < 20% of population 75% of carbon emitted since 1950 < 50% of today’s carbon emissions developing nations > 80% of population 25% of carbon emissions since 1950 > 50% of today’s emissions economic & population growth --> huge emissions increases in the future
