显生宙时期生物大灭绝及其对当代气候失律的伦理启示
Mass Extinction in Phanerozoic Eon and Its Ethic Enlightment on Contemporary Climate Disorder
摘要
Abstract
Many times of mass extinction occurred in Phanerozoic eon and when exploring the reasons, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial causes can be found. The terrestrial causes include sea level fluctuation, deterioration of the marine environment, food chain disruption, massive volcanic eruptions, climate cataclysm and changes in earth magnetic field while extraterrestrial causes involve asteroid collisions with earth, etc.. No matter what the cause is, climate changes undeniably affect the living environment on the earth. The reason that creatures of the nature can adapt to climate changes and survive and multiply on the earth is the evolution rules of the natural environment. Milankovich, a former Yugoslavia scholar, proposed that it was the minute quasi⁃periodic changes of the three elements of the earth orbit (eclipticinclination, precession and eccentricity ratio) that caused the worldwide seasonal changes in the amount of solar radiation, eventually leading to global climate changes. Nowadays, the natural change rule is being artificially broken for modern industrialization and urbanization resulting in a severe climate disorder. The urgency of the climate problem requires that a deep ethical reflection on the global environmental change be made imminently. To reflect on the climate disorder from the ethics perspective requires clarification of two things. For one thing, when faced with climate changes, human should give first priority to the long term development and the common interests of mankind rather than individual rights, following the principle that“benevolence”comes before“legitimacy”and“utility”takes precedence over“rights”;for another, human should follow the law of“limits of survival”. Human should be aware of the importance of human destiny community, and meanwhile, personal preferences and lifestyles should be restricted or even“re⁃moralized”to make people aware of the situation and willing to life a moderate life.关键词
