More about the book from the publisher:
“In Climate Justice\ , a bracing challenge to status quo thinking on the ethics of climate chang e\, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what's a t stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change\ , everyone must be counted equally\, regardless of when they live or where they live—which means that wealthy nations\, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions\, are obliged to help future genera tions and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable. The book casts new light on the “social cost of carbon\,”—the most important number in climate change debates—and explains how intergenerational neutrality an d international neutrality can help all nations\, crucially the United Stat es and China\, do what must be done.”
