ABSTRACT

This chapter concludes the more practical discussions of the book by weighing in on three concrete debates in the environmentalist community: hydraulic fracturing, protest, and climate engineering. In each case, the authors take a stand—against fracking, in favor of protest, and for limited research into climate engineering—but acknowledge the ambiguity of those positions and the strengths of alternative perspectives. Each demonstrates that an ethics of uncertainty means making the best decisions possible in an ambiguous world.
