Climate change has emerged as the central environmental problem facing
humanity in the 21st century. According to NASA, 97% of climate
scientists agree that climate change is occurring. There are daily
news items featuring truly stunning facts ABOUT HURRICANES, melting
glaciers, increased turbulence during trans-Atlantic flights, etc.
Many Americans, however, remain unpersuaded or even infuriated by this
barrage of bad news. This lecture uses philosophical tools to unpack
the competing claims that surround environmental issues, and to
provide new ways of looking at the arguments that continue to pit US
against each other. Sandy Woodson teaches ethics and environmental
philosophy at the Colorado School of Mines. She holds degrees from
North Carolina State University, Colorado State University, and the
University of Montana. She has been teaching at Mines since 1999.
