Why is stopping climate change a moral imperative?

“The question isn’t whether we should talk about ethics; the question is whether we can achieve the necessary rapid social change without talking about them. If the culture forces us to live in ways we don’t believe in, then we have to change the culture. Given the urgency of the question, we may need to start with conscientious objection.”

—Kathleen Dean Moore, philosopher and co-editor of Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril
