A Perfect Moral Storm: Climate Change, Intergenerational Ethics and the Problem of Corruption, Stephen M. Gardiner, University of Washington Download PDF American Heat: Ethical Problems with the United States' Response to Global Warming, Donald Brown. Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002. "When the world began to wake up to the global environmental crisis in the 1970s, the United States was the undisputed world leader in environmental policy. Yet, on an unsettling number of international environmental issues – including global warming – the United States has not only forfeited its leadership role but has also too often become the major barrier to protecting the global environment. In American Heat, Donald Brown critically analyzes the U.S. response to global warming, inviting the readers to examine the implicit morality of the U.S. position, and ultimately to help lead the world toward an equitable sharing of the burdens and benefits of protecting the global environment. In short, Brown argues that an ethical focus on global environmental matters is the key to achieving a globally acceptable solution. Donald Brown is director of the Pennsylvania Consortium for Interdisciplinary Environmental Policy and former program manager for United Nations Organizations at the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Office of International Environmental Policy."
