How much and who pays?

Hey guys,

Here are several articles that we'll be discussing for class. The first is by philosopher Peter Singer and talks about who should pay for mitigating global warming. The next article is by Jeffrey Sachs, head of Columbia University's Earth Institute and talks about humans and biodiversity in Absent Minded Killers.

In addition to these largely moral arguments, there is a lot of information about the economic cost of mitigating global climate change. Joseph Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize winning economist and had this article on the Cool Calculus of Global Warming. Make sure to read this article on The Changing Climate of Climate Change too.

We'll be sending you the exact assignment by email.

Enjoy!
