The Brundtland Commission (as mentioned in ch. 6 of your "Applied Ethics & Environment in Technology" text) was concerned about environmental degradation because it leads to poverty and economic disparities among societies. The 2007 and 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports (also identified in ch. 6 of the same text) show that global warming exacerbates disparities because the economic loss caused by climate change will fall hardest on the poorest nations. This disparity raises some very basic questions of fairness. Provide elaborated answers; include details, consequences, etc. for different scenarios/options that you chose. 1) Is it ethical or fair for richer countries to burn fossil fuels indiscriminately, thereby creating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and indirectly imposing climate change on poorer countries? 2) Is it ethical or fair to require poor or undeveloped third-world countries to meet the same emissions standards as Western countries, which have emitted about 20 times as much GHG per capita for the past century? 3) How will the industrialized nations respond to the millions of "climate" refugees created in Africa when droughts reduce crops, or in Bangladesh and the Pacific islands when sea levels rise and flood these low-lying countries?
