philosphy of climate change

• Butterfly Effect
  Edward Lorenz 'Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?'
• Immanuel Kant 'Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end.' or expressed more simply, act respecting the needs of others.

  • " Arthur George Tansley, proposed the concept of the ecosystem that would revolutionize the scientific relationship with nature. This concept refers to all the interactions of the various living species among themselves, and of all living organisms with the physical environment: soil, air, climate, etc. In this context, man rediscovers himself as belonging to nature, as an element of the ecosystem. Moreover, this ecosystem is a finite environment, with limited resources, both upstream and downstream of human activities. "
  • "Hans Jonas developed in the late 1970s, thinking precisely of ecological issues: “Act so that the effects of your actions are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life on Earth.”"
  • Respect for human rights must therefore lead to a principle of international solidarity that alone can guarantee both the global management of climate change and that specific measures for particularly complex situations will be taken. The principle of responsibility for future generations and the principle of solidarity of all towards all are essential for an equitable management of the ecological crisis.
