The social cost of carbon: The most important number you've never heard of--and what it means.
If you're injuring someone, you should stop--and pay for the damage you've caused. Why, this book asks, does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what's at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live--which means that wealthy nations, which have disproportionately benefited from greenhouse gas emissions, are obliged to help future generations and people in poor nations that are particularly vulnerable. Invoking principles of corrective justice and distributive justice, Sunstein argues that rich countries should pay for the harms that they have caused and that all of us are obliged to take steps to protect future generations from serious climate-related damage. He shows how "choice engines," informed by artificial intelligence, can enable people to save money and to reduce the harms they produce. The book casts new light on the "social cost of carbon," the most important number in climate change debates--and explains how intergenerational neutrality and international neutrality can help all nations, above all the United States and China, do what must be done.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
碳的社會成本：你從未聽過的最重要數字——以及它的意義。
如果你正在傷害某人，你應該停止——並為你造成的損害付出代價。這本書提出，為什麼這個普遍接受的簡單命題不適用於氣候變化？在氣候正義中，著名作家和法律學者卡斯·桑斯坦（Cass Sunstein）對氣候變化倫理的現狀思維提出了挑戰，清楚地框定了所涉及的利害關係，並闡明了道德上的緊迫性：在氣候變化問題上，每個人都必須平等計算，無論他們生活在何時何地——這意味著，富裕國家，因溫室氣體排放而不成比例地受益，必須幫助未來世代和特別脆弱的貧窮國家人民。桑斯坦引用了糾正正義和分配正義的原則，主張富裕國家應該為他們造成的傷害付出代價，並且我們所有人都有責任採取措施保護未來世代免受嚴重的氣候相關損害。他展示了如何利用人工智慧所驅動的“選擇引擎”使人們能夠節省金錢並減少他們所造成的傷害。這本書為“碳的社會成本”這一氣候變化辯論中最重要的數字提供了新的見解——並解釋了代際中立和國際中立如何幫助所有國家，尤其是美國和中國，做必須做的事情。作者簡介
