Reading a piece entitled “Ecological ethics” in the latest
edition of Philosophy Now by Tim Madigan
helped me understand why so many are troubled by the complexities of climate
change.
It seems than many are not yet open and true believers of
evolution and however slim or remote their belief in creation might be, it is
for many a more comfortable position.
Madigan said:
“The debate about sustainability is intimately connected
with evolutionary understanding of life. If one does not recognise the
interconnectedness and fragility of life, then one’s moral framework will
likely lack a commitment to sustainability”.
