Today i'm reading Catriona McKinnon (2014) 'Climate Change: Against Despair'
-Is it fitting to feel despair about making the climate crisis less shitty?
-Nope. It's possible for your/our choices to make things less bad than they would hv been.
-So hope, not despair, is fitting.
Seems right. #philsky

I'm reading a load of classic texts in environmental ethics. It's very striking how often it all comes down to a distinctive view about moral epistemology.
Here's Paul Taylor railing against "intuitions" and recommending "thinking things thru to their foundations":
