American Heat: Ethical Problems with the United States' Response to Global Warming
Donald A. Brown 2002 Rowman and Littlefield Publishers
This book by Donald Brown opens with a historical analysis of America's response to global warming, and continues with a look at the history of scientific and political concern with climate change. The author focuses on the inconsistent and "morally reprehensible" position of the United States while discussing various ethical models relevant to global issues and the (mis)conception that science is objective and ethically neutral. Brown argues that there is an urgent need to recognize the ethical issues often hidden in scientific and economic studies of global warming.
