Predictions about global climate change have produced both stark scenarios ofenvironmental catastrophe and purportedly pragmatic ideas about adaptation. This book takes adifferent perspective, exploring the idea that the challenge of adapting to global climate change isfundamentally an ethical one, that it is not simply a matter of adapting our infrastructures andeconomies to mitigate damage but rather of adapting ourselves to realities of a new global climate.The challenge is to restore our conception of humanity--to understand human flourishing in newways--in an age in which humanity shapes the basic conditions of the global environment. In the faceof what we have unintentionally done to Earth's ecology, who shall we become? The contributorsexamine ways that new realities will require us to revisit and adjust the practice of ecologicalrestoration; the place of ecology in our conception of justice; the form and substance oftraditional virtues and vices; and the organizations, scale, and underlying metaphors of importantinstitutions. Topics discussed include historical fidelity in ecological restoration; theapplication of capability theory to ecology; the questionable ethics of geoengineering; and thecognitive transformation required if we are to "think like aplanet."
