Emergency Geoengineering and Virtues of Earth Stewardship
摘要
Abstract
Geoengineering is increasingly considered a plausible and possibly justified response to global climate change.One such proposal,solar radiation management(SRM),advocates deliberately manipulating the climate system at the planetary scale in order to achieve human ends.It is essentially a form of planetary management.If humanity can morally accept solar radiation management,it follows that certain forms of planetary management are also morally acceptable.However,many philosophical positions developed within environmental ethics uphold a principle of non-interference,especially when it comes to the genome and atmospheric systems.Scholars who endorse virtue theory typically regard the ambition of planetary management as excessively hubristic and therefore oppose it.Responsible planetary management ought to satisfy the demands of moral goodness and constitute virtuous Earth stewardship.A truly virtuous planetary manager would not develop or deploy geoengineering technologies such as solar radiation management,because such actions are not themselves virtuous.There is reason to believe that if humanity were to face a situation requiring emergency measures and then deploy solar radiation management as a"lesser evil",it could create genuine moral dilemmas for future generations.This becomes a difficult moral problem that virtuous agents must confront today.If we assume that humanity has a responsibility to manage the Earth,then the practices pursued in accordance with the demands of virtue would not include geoengineering approaches such as solar radiation management or stratospheric aerosol injection.关键词
