Reason in a Dark Time: Why the Struggle Against Climate Change Failed -- And What It Means for Our Future by Dale Jamieson

4.0

Beginning with a remarkable account of the history of climate science, and the many international efforts to slow the rate of greenhouse gas emissions and and reduce the effects of anthropogenic climate change, philosopher Dale Jamieson brings a unique perspective on the global climate crisis. Reason in a Dark Time efficiently sifts through the many conflicting and misleading ideas about climate change and what, if anything should be done about it, arriving at a recommendations of 7 broad policy priorities, 3 principles for how to pursue them, and 1 suggestion for immediate action. He backs all of this up with a rigorous discussion of the myriad political, economic, and ethical considerations that repeatedly thwarted efforts at the national and international levels to to effectively address GHGs and global warming.
