Geoengineering the climate and ethical challenges: what we can learn from moral emotions and art

Abstract: Climate change is an urgent problem, requiring ways and approaches to address it. Possible solutions are mitigation, adaptation and deployment of geoengineering. In this article we argue that geoengineering gives rise to ethical challenges of its own. Reflecting on these ethical challenges requires approaches that go beyond conventional, quantitative methods of risk assessment. Quantitative methods leave out important ethical considerations such as justice, fairness, autonomy and legitimacy. We argue that emot… Show more

“…Consider a couple of relevant issues. The future of geoengineering remains to be seen: in addition to posing serious risks, many experimental technologies will have large-scale aesthetic effects, for example, stratospheric aerosol injection will result in changing the colour of the sky (Roeser et al 2019). When considering energy transitions away from oil and coal, various 13.…”

“…Concerns about distributive justice in SRM are raised also from the viewpoints of virtue ethics and care ethics. From the perspectives of virtue and care ethics, the assessment is that the principle of fairness will not be respected in the SRM scenario [43,44].…”

“…For instance in bioethics where ethical uncertainties "cannot be eliminated by resolving (even imagining that we could) the factual dimension of uncertainty" (Cribb, 2020). Another example is in ethics of technology and in dealing with ethically laden uncertainties in the governance of geoengineering technologies such as Solar Radiation Management (Roeser, Taebi, & Doorn, 2019), for instance in establishing which ethical principle should be applied for compensation scheme for geoengineering technologies (Svoboda & Irvine, 2014).…”
