Climate change and morality

If science can challenge beliefs, dignity is more primal — it is the right to hold beliefs, make use of science, and exercise belief maintenance. ( George Ainslie wrote in the Breakdown of Will.

Climate change is about natural disasters, refugees, hunger, poverty, inequality, extintion, pollution…it is about human beings.

And so the answers are not blowing in the wind, but behind our core values. We have to dis-cover them. Find yours.

Science can describe reality, procesess, phemomenum, and provide us with the map: What is happening? Cause and effect. But does not provide with directions on how to use that information. Ultimately, is up to us, human beings, to decide what to do with data, with findings.

Every science discovery is neutral in origin, it is amoral and it acquires intention after us, as human beings, decide what to do with it. Intention. Decission making. Morality.

That is the reason why ethical comitees do exist.

So, at the end of the day we have to define our Why-why is climate change important to me?- and show up with our value proposition to act.
