Climate justice: a question of historic responsibility?
Journal of Global Ethics 7 (3):261-278 (2011)
Abstract
The paper argues against the assumption that citizens of industrialized countries bear responsibility for greenhouse emissions in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. An array of arguments for such a historic responsibility is refuted. The crucial role of the assumption of a liability for bona fide misappropriation in a state of nature (Lockean strict liability) is pointed out.DOI
