Document Summary
It"s not my fault: global warming and individual moral obligations by walter. Assumption #1: global warming has begun and is likely to increase over the next century. Assumption #2: a significant amount of global warming is due to human activities (fossil fuels) Assumption #4: the poor will be hurt most of all, and poor countries that are close to sea level might be devastated or destroyed while rich countries adapt to the climate changes. Assumption #7: the steps taken to slow down global warming or reduce its severity will be costly, slowing down our economies in the short run and hurting many poor people. Assumption #8: despite these costs, the major governments throughout the world are still morally obligated to take some of these necessary steps to slow down global warming, and the united. States has a special moral obligation to do to.
