- Title
Economic Growth or the Flourishing of Life: The Ethical Choice Climate Change Puts to Humanity.
- Authors
Cafaro, Philip
- Abstract
The article discusses the threat of the global climate change (GCC) to human beings according to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It discusses the vulnerability of earth's biodiversity reservoir such as Amazon rainforest and the corral reefs to break down and mentions the relation of economic growth to GCC through connecting the greenhouse gas emission on individual economic growth. It associates the logic of adding financial wealth upon energy generation which in return causes GCC and emphasizes that environmentalism needs to be pursued and prioritized rather than concerns in increase in wealth.
