Philosophy and the economics of climate change

Readers who are interested in climate chamge economics need an understanding of its underlying philosopy. In particular, an understanding of the choice of the discount rates used by the Stern Review and others depends upon an appreciation of what is meant by utilitarianism and by the idea of agent-specific ethics. The CZ article on the former is only a stub,and there is nothing on the latter. The purpose of this message is to tempt a qualified philosopher to fill that gap. Failing such a response, I may put foreword a draft myself, - writing as an interested amateur.Nick Gardner 06:04, 28 August 2008 (CDT)

Well, I'm still waiting for the philosophical illuminati to send me notice that I'm a fully qualified philosopher, but in the mean time I'll try and improve utilitarianism --Tom Morris 11:45, 28 August 2008 (CDT)
I am impressed. Is there more to come? Nick Gardner 14:22, 28 August 2008 (CDT)

Hullo Nick - honestly, I don't think its that complicated. There are very sound, practical issues involved in Climate Change economics, and only a few universal philosophical principles apply. You should certainly feel free to go ahead. Martin Cohen 12:17, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
