 The white man's ecological burden [1]

"THE west is the best". Rocker Jim Morrison in a song called The End. The song revolves around the phrase, exposing its contradictions with images of incest and "children going insane". Today, Morrison is dead and the song has become a classic, mark of a bygone countercultural moment. But the phrase lives on, bellcurving its superiority, or masking itself as an "ethical analysis of possible responses to the issue of global climate change".

Global warming is an anthropogenic effect, so involves a question of ethics. This makes Ethics and Climate Change
