ABSTRACT

Given what has come before about the causes of ethics to influence climate change policy formation, we now make recommendations on how to make ethical considerations influential in guiding a global solution to climate change. However, we must first examine one last claim of Gardiner (2011) namely that the failure of ethics to affect climate change policy is attributable, at least in part, to some of the features of climate change that make drawing unambiguous or clear ethical conclusions difficult, a fact about climate change that encourages moral corruption.
