Climate Reparations‪?‬ Sustainable Minimalists

    • Home & Garden

A hotter planet is here, my friends. Don't believe me? Just turn on the news.

On today's show we first break down major current climate events; we then ask ourselves a set of ethical quandaries. Should the global north pay reparations to the global south for its centuries-long polluting behaviors, or are the inequitable and unjust natures of climate change simply bad luck? 



Here's a preview:

[4:00] How'd summer go? (Hint: not great, especially in Pakistan)

[12:30] The climate reparations argument: What it is and why it has legs

[20:00] 3 ethical questions for you to answer re: charity versus reparations
