This second edition has been updated and includes two new chapters on climate change and capitalism and climate change and law. Williston addresses important questions such as:

• Has humanity entered the Anthropocene epoch?
• Is climate change primarily an ethical or an economic issue?
• Can capitalism be reformed to prevent climate catastrophe?
• What are the moral failings of international climate diplomacy?
• What are the main causes of political inaction and climate denial?
• Should tort law be used to sue those responsible for climate change?
• What are intragenerational and intergenerational justice?
• Is geoengineering an ethically justifiable response to climate change?

Featuring case studies throughout, this textbook provides a philosophical introduction to an immensely topical issue studied by students within the fields of applied ethics, global justice, sustainability, geography, and politics.
