Ethics and climate change

http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/ethics-and-the-greenhouse/

A good article with some good comments. One comment pursued the question of individuals taking responsibility, rather than individuals pushing the decision off onto vague entities, like governments, which can be blamrd if things go bad, deflecting responsibility from the individual.

We, Juliette and me, subscribe to the ethical equation that goes: we have met the enemy and he is us. BB didnt cause the gusher in the Gulf. We did, by living the oily life.

If we create and sustain the climate degradation, the. we have nobody to blame but ourselves if we dont own up to it and do what we know must be done: change the way we are living. Period.
