This title in other editionsA Moral Climate: The Ethics of Global Warmingby Michael S. Northcott
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this groundbreaking book Northcott examines theological attitudes to climate change, from the complacent to the apocalyptic, and the ethical implications for all Christians. Book News Annotation:He hears--sometimes explicitly and sometimes as an undertone--that
once the engines of industry are decoupled from fossil fuel--a mere
technical fix--the environmental problem will be solved. That is a
serious misreading of the crisis, says Northcott (ethics, U. of
Edinburgh), because global warming is the symptom of the problem not
its cause. Among his perspectives as a priest and an ethicist are
energy and empire, ethical emissions, mobility and pilgrimage, and
faithful feasting.
Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Despite clarion calls from scientists and cover stories on magazines like Time telling uss to "Be afraid!" Be very afraid!" the threat of an ecological crisis has failed to achieve prominence in religious or political circles. And yet it is one of the biggest moral dilemmas of our time. In this groundbreaking book Michael Northcott examines theological attitudes to climate change, from the complacent to the apocalyptic, and the ethical implications for all Christians. Hard-hitting and comprehensive, The Moral Climate is must reading for anyone truly concerned about the greatest threat to our well-being.
