Here's an article at Reason.com that talks about the civil liberties issues in Michigan and about what some consider to be Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's "excessive quarantining." The entire article is worth reading in full, but this passage caught my eye in light of our discussion this week about the precautionary principle:<br />
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>Most local lockdowns have <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/its-still-america-virus-or-not-11586718091">their share</a> of nuttiness (for example, in Florida and D.C., you can walk through parks but not sit down) and excesses (a Philadelphia man was handcuffed for playing with his daughter in an empty softball field). But so long as the ratio of good sense to nonsense is relatively high, for the most part Americans have gone along. Irate residents and partisans seeking to exploit these measures for political gain have been marginalized.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>But that changed in Michigan with Whitmer's new executive order that not only extended the state's shelter-in-place mandate till the end of the month—something most everyone had expected and accepted—but added arguably the country's most draconian and nonsensical provisions.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>Even as neighboring Indiana and Ohio are relaxing their orders and the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency guidelines are classifying more industries as "essential" so that they can reopen and minimize the economic hit from the shutdown, Whitmore has gone the other way on the pretext that Michigan has the third-highest share of coronavirus cases in the country.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>She ordered big box stores to stop selling paint, carpets, and other home-improvement material not considered essential, though as Reason's Billy Binion reported, she does allow lottery ticket sales, probably because the proceeds go to the state's K-12 funds.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>She shut down lawn-care services. Contender's Tree and Lawn Specialist Inc., a company that purchased <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2020/04/14/lawsuit-alleges-whitmer-order-taking-no-compensation/2990561001/">hundreds of thousands of dollars of fertilizer and other supplies</a> had to stop spraying its plants in the middle of spring season, risking its entire crop. (Michigan's gardening industry, with an estimated retail value of <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/ingrid-jacques/2020/04/11/jacques-whitmer-disses-michigan-biz-community/5130279002/">$580 million to $700 million</a> and 9,000 employees, faces a complete loss this year if it isn't able to operate soon.)</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>In addition to large gatherings, she also barred families that don't share a home from getting together, preventing one man from seeing his girlfriend of 14 years because she doesn't live with him.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>She forbade families from traveling to their vacation cottages in northern Michigan, a popular springtime activity in Michigan. She shut down golf courses and prohibited motorized boats, although non-motorized ones are allowed, for some reason.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>This is arbitrary and irrational micromanagement that has understandably irritated many residents.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>What's more, Whitmer has decreed that violations will count as misdemeanors punishable by up to a $1,000 civil fine. Criminal penalties are also on the table, <a href="https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2020/04/10/what-happens-if-you-violate-michigans-stay-at-home-order/">should prosecutors choose to pursue that</a>. Meanwhile, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has gone full China and is encouraging employees to <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/ingrid-jacques/2020/04/11/jacques-whitmer-disses-michigan-biz-community/5130279002/"> rat out</a> their bosses and call the police if they try to open up shop in violation of the lockdown.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<i>What's so outrageous about all this is that the new businesses and activities that Whitmer is targeting can all be safely conducted while adhering to strict social distancing rules. But Whitmer's theory apparently is that anything beyond absolutely essential conduct jeopardizes frontline workers. <strong>This is the precautionary principle on steroids.</strong> It considers even an infinitesimal increase in secondary risk as unacceptable, a mindset that could justify stopping virtually any activity anytime.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 40px;">
<br /></div>
Anyway, the entire article is at <a href="https://reason.com/2020/04/16/michigan-gov-gretchen-whitmer-provides-a-lesson-in-what-states-shouldnt-do-to-stop-a-pandemic/">https://reason.com/2020/04/16/michigan-gov-gretchen-whitmer-provides-a-lesson-in-what-states-shouldnt-do-to-stop-a-pandemic/</a> .<br />

I was doing some research for my final paper and I found a really interesting article written by Yuriko Saito, a (female) Japanese philosopher at the Rhode Island School of Design, titled 'Everyday Aesthetics'. I thought I'd share it, in case anyone remains frustrated with the fine art / nature comparison in environmental aesthetics- this might assuage your frayed nerves a bit. Evan- you know I'm talking to you.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, after doing a little library sleuthing, I have found out that her work encompasses the relationship of aesthetic theory and environmental ethics, the moral dimensions of the Japanese aesthetic, and a critique on the primacy of the aesthetics of fine art acting as the main point of departure for applications in environmental ethics / aesthetics ... super fascinating. Here's her <a href="http://departments.risd.edu/hpss/Saito.html" target="_blank">website</a> at RISD for more about her.<br />
<br />
I'm attaching a <a href="http://vp5qw4uf5x.search.serialssolutions.com/?&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fcornell.worldcat.org%3Aworldcat&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&req_dat=%3Csessionid%3E&rfe_dat=%3Caccessionnumber%3E360332197%3C%2Faccessionnumber%3E&rft_id=urn%3AISSN%3A0190-0013&rft.aulast=Saito&rft.aufirst=Yuriko&rft.atitle=Everyday+Aesthetics&rft.jtitle=Philosophy+and+Literature&rft.date=2001-04-01&rft.volume=25&rft.issue=1&rft.spage=87&rft.epage=95&rft.issn=0190-0013&rft.genre=article&rft.sici=0190-0013%2820010401%2925%3A1%3C87%3AEA%3E2.0.TX%3B2-7&req_id=info:rfa/oclc/institutions/3913&req_dat=%3Cip%3E67.249.199.207%3C%2Fip%3E&req_id=info%3Arfa%2Foclc%2FInstitutions%2F3913" target="_blank">link</a> to the article 'Everyday Aesthetics', and I have more of her essays in pdfs if you all are interested. If this doesn't work (you might have to be signed in to Cornell netid), I can email the file to anyone who wants it. Yuriko has been included in a bunch of anthologies on Environmental Ethics/Aesthetics, including the one Jim passed around today edited by Carlson and Berleant as well as having fairly recently published her own book (also called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Aesthetics-Yuriko-Saito/dp/0199575673" target="_blank">'Everyday Aesthetics'</a>).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I was thinking about our discussion today in class, and was
left wondering what role technology plays in our views/emotions towards nature.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ritwick asked if experiencing nature first-hand is required
for that emotional or spiritual connection associated with aesthetics. I
personally think it is - none of us really had an emotional reaction to seeing
the<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Double Rainbow</i> footage in the
video. Undoubtedly, double rainbow guy’s sound-effects probably took away from that
intimate personal experience that we could have had, but I think that speaks to
the importance of “framing” or presenting. Although he had a spiritual
connection, we interpreted it as being funny and that perhaps took away from
the reaction we “should’ve” had towards the double rainbow. Basically, how the
natural episode is framed/presented makes a difference i.e. we’d have a
different appreciation if a double rainbow was filmed on a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Planet Earth</i> special compared to on that youtube video. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Technology is certainly a great way for people who can’t
otherwise experience certain places to get a feel for what that area is like;
however, videotaping or taking pictures of nature subtracts from the emotional
connection that the person could’ve had, in turn, disempowering that natural
feature. Do you agree?</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221620192474213666.post-62644570814241622962012-04-16T22:22:00.003-04:002012-04-16T22:39:54.850-04:00Soylent green is people!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whKDE5LSzvs/T4zXciJxdqI/AAAAAAAAFHA/begdC4bmwns/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2012-04-16%2Bat%2B10.34.21%2BPM.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whKDE5LSzvs/T4zXciJxdqI/AAAAAAAAFHA/begdC4bmwns/s320/Screen%2Bshot%2B2012-04-16%2Bat%2B10.34.21%2BPM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732193310939903650" border="0" /></a>I came across two articles today that were both disturbing and intriguing. The first article features a new method for making human based gelatin which is actually more predictable than animal based gelatin. To develop this product human gelatin genes are inserted into a strain of yeast, which can produce gelatin with controllable features. The thought of eating human protein is disturbing, yet is it really any worse than eating animal based gelatin which is composed of cow and pig ligaments and connective tissues? Here is the link to the full article:<br /><br />http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/07/110713101952.htm<br /><br />The second article features a synthetic meat burger made from protein extracted from human feces. Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Ikeda (pictured above) uses sewage mud one of the main ingredients in his artificial meat. The process sounds less than appetizing. The protein lipids are whipped into "meat" and make more savory by adding soya and steak sauce. Here is the link to the article:<br /><br />http://www.treehugger.com/green-food/artificial-meat-made-from-poop.html<br /><br />Neither of these products sound like ones I will be eating anytime soon but it is interesting to think scientists are turning towards humans and their by products as a food source.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Are the
rationale of our day-to-day choices actually that different from our
fundamental values? Sagoff seems to think so: “I buy only disposable [bottles]
now, but to soothe my conscience, I urge my state senator to outlaw one-way
containers.” No question that Sagoff was trying to assuage his guilt in that
situation (like mining corps do when they promise to restore the land…), but
the contradiction seems unacceptable. The way I interpreted this example – let
me know if you disagree – is that he’s very much in favor of regulation.
Regulation, if aligned with our ethics system, eliminates the choice we’d have
to make between our preferences as consumers and values as citizens i.e. “the
consumer against himself as a citizen or as a member of a moral community” I
never thought the two were quite so mutually exclusive...</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221620192474213666.post-45250986594258717412012-04-01T15:16:00.002-04:002012-04-01T15:16:43.818-04:00While I was doing some research about wind turbines, I came across this really interesting - but unrealistic - idea about floating wind turbines...a great source of renewable energy that could be moved. And more importantly, they can climb to relatively high altitudes where wind-currents are slightly more intense, so more energy can be created. Would people have a problem seeing these things floating around in a wilderness environment e.g. places in Alaska?

From the philosopher Peter Singer, whose 1975 volume “Animal Liberation” galvanized an international movement, to the novelist Jonathan Safran Foer, who wrote the 2009 best seller “Eating Animals,” those who forswear meat have made the case that what we eat is a crucial ethical decision. To be just, they say, we must put down our cheeseburgers and join their ranks.</span> </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>In response, those who love meat have had surprisingly little to say. They say, of course, that, well, they love meat or that meat is deeply ingrained in our habit or culture or cuisine or that it’s nutritious or that it’s just part of the natural order. Some of the more conscientious carnivores have devoted themselves to enhancing the lives of livestock, by improving what those animals eat, how they live and how they are killed. But few have tried to answer the fundamental ethical issue: Whether it is right to eat animals in the first place, at least when human survival is not at stake.</i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Just heard about a
documentary about the environmental implications of human population growth (and
also some of the claims of ecofeminism we previously discussed) called “<b>Mother:
Caring for 7 Billion</b>” that seemed oddly relevant to our discussion in class
this past week and thought some people might be interested in checking it out!</div>

I
haven’t seen the film, but they have a trailer on the site (and I think the
whole film can be watched for $0.99 for the rest of International Women’s
Month) if anyone’s interested: <a href="http://motherthefilm.com/">http://motherthefilm.com/</a> .<o:p></o:p></div>

<i><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Mother: Caring for 7 Billion is an environmental documentary
that looks at the implications of our earth's increasing population and the
effect it has on our planet socially and environmentally. Through interviews
with experts in the field of environmentalism, social science, economics, human
rights and the main character, who is a mother and activist herself, the film
strives not to blame but to educate and to highlight a different path for humanity.</span><o:p></o:p></i></div>

<i><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Mother, the film, breaks a 40-year taboo by bringing to light
an issue that silently fuels our most pressing environmental, humanitarian and
social crises - population growth.</span><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><br />
Since the 1960s the world population has nearly doubled, adding more than 3
billion people. At the same time, talking about population has become
politically incorrect because of the sensitivity of the issues surround</span>ing the topic– religion, economics, family planning
and gender inequality. Yet it is an issue we cannot afford to ignore.<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Grounded in the theories of social scientist Riane Eisler,
the film strives not to blame but to educate, to highlight a different path for
humanity. Overpopulation is merely a symptom of an even larger problem - a
"domination system" that for most of human history has glorified the
domination of man over nature, man over child and man over woman. To break this
pattern, the film demonstrates that we must change our conquering mindset into
a nurturing one. And the first step is to raise the status of women worldwide.<br />

world-renown experts and scientists including biologist Paul Ehrlich, author of
“The Population Bomb,” economist Mathis Wackernagel, the creator of the
ground-breaking Footprint Network, Lester Brown, founder of the Worldwatch
Institute, and founder and president of the Earth Policy Institute, Malcolm
Potts, a pioneer in human reproductive health, and Riane Eisler, whose book “The

After our discussion on Tuesday, I was thinking about that
one sentence in the Fox reading: “the material standard of living should be
drastically reduced and the quality of life, in the sense of basic satisfaction
in the depths of one’s heart or soul, should be maintained or increased” (Fox
1984). I still can’t say that I have a definitive understanding of Fox’s
interpretation of the “material standard;” based on the context, however, such
standard reflects this idea that a select group of people are intruding and
damaging nature through excess consumption. And because everything is
interconnected in Fox’s perspective, what someone does in one part of the world
affects how an animal/a person lives in another. “The world simply is not
divided up into independently existing subjects and objects, nor is there any
bifurcation in reality between the human and non-human realms” (Fox 1984). With
all this in mind, I was wondering why Fox never directly addressed this notion
about how our adherence to the material standard and consumption principles
affects those in other parts of the world, which live by a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sustainable standard.</i> I think it would make for a good contrast, at
least strategically for his argument.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a side note, in this article about global warming, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Living Beyond Our means: Natural Assets and
Human Well-Being</i>, there’s a quote that mimics what I’m suggesting:
“negative impacts of climate change fall disproportionately on poorest parts of
the world…but the buildup of greenhouse gasses has come overwhelmingly from
richer populations.”</div>

Here is one example where the philosophical arguments of animal rights, environmental ethics, and cultural preservation collide. <br /><br />It is interesting to note that in Australia--which resembles the Anglo-American philosophical "scene"--aboriginal rights and customs have been assiduously protected and honored.

Now we abuse fossil fuels." Here's an excerpt:<br /><blockquote><p>In 2005, while teaching history at a French university, I was struck by the general disbelief among students that rational and sensitive human beings could ever hold others in bondage. Slavery was so obviously evil that slave-holders could only have been barbarians. My students could not entertain the idea that some slave-owners could have been genuinely blind to the harm they were doing.</p><p>At the same time, I was reading a book on <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/climate-change" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Climate change">climate change</a> which noted how today's machinery – almost exclusively powered by <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/fossil-fuels" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Fossil fuels">fossil fuels</a> like coal and oil – does the same work that used to be done by slaves and servants. "<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/energy" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Energy">Energy</a> slaves" now do our laundry, cook our food, transport us, entertain us, and do most of the hard work needed for our survival.</p><p>Intriguing similarities between slavery and our current dependence on fossil-fuel-powered machines struck me: both perform roughly the same functions in society (doing the hard and dirty work that no one wants to do), both were considered for a long time to be acceptable by the majority and both came to be increasingly challenged as the harm they caused became more visible.</p></blockquote>You can read the rest of the article <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/feb/03/fossil-fuels-slavery?intcmp=122">here</a>.<br /><br />The article has already generated a fair amount of commentary and criticism. Keith Kloor's blog post, <a href="http://www.collide-a-scape.com/2012/02/03/a-tortured-analogy/">"A Tortured Analogy,"</a> at Collide-a-scape is particularly good.<br /><br />Thoughts, comments?Jim Tantillohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221620192474213666.post-5712055291359464472012-02-02T12:57:00.001-05:002012-02-02T12:59:44.591-05:00new book by Tovar Cerulli, The Mindful Carnivorehere's a video on the book I mentioned in class this morning.

What can one say about medications like insulin, without which I personally would have been extinct some years ago? (Personal disclosure: I am a type 1 diabetic and require insulin to live). Some of you may be less familiar with the history of insulin and its original discovery. Below is an excerpt from an article written by Deepinder Brar <a href="http://www.med.uni-giessen.de/itr/history/inshist.html" target="_blank">here</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;">The biggest breakthrough came in 1921 when Frederick Banting and Charles Best conducted a series of experiments one summer in the laboratory of J.J. R. Macleod at the University of Toronto. Like Minkowski and von Mering, they showed that removing the pancreas from dogs made them diabetic.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;" /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;">Then they went a step further and painstakingly took fluid from healthy dogs' Islets of Langerhans, injected it into the diabetic dogs and restored them to normalcy - for as long as they had the extract.With the help of a biochemist colleague named J. B. Collip, they were then able to extract a reasonably pure formula of insulin from the pancreas of cattle from slaughterhouses.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;" /></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;">In January, 1922, a diabetic teenager in a Toronto hospital named Leonard Thompson became the first person to receive an injection of insulin. He improved dramatically, and the news about insulin spread around the world like wildfire. For their work, Banting and Macleod received the Nobel Prize in Medicine the very next year, in 1923. Banting shared his part of the prize money with Best, and Macleod shared his with Collip.</span></span></blockquote><span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So what to make of this? I shudder to think of the pain inflicted on all of the animals used for their pancreases in order that I and so many other diabetics might live, but at the end of the day I am grateful that it happened. How could I not be? What other cures for terminal illnesses might be found through animal testing alone? I'm not saying I'm pro-animal testing per se, but it is certainly difficult to feel authentic in extolling an animal rights ethic while simultaneously relying on something borne from such a brutal reliance upon animal lives.</span></span><br />

It chronicles the tenuous relationship between indigenous African villagers and the conservation land they live adjacent to in both Kenya and Namibia.<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />"<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">This penetrating look at the pros and cons of wildlife conservation among the Himba of Namibia and the Maasai of Kenya reveals that Western-style game reserves and eco-lodges seldom consider the impact such approaches have on local inhabitants. Filmmaker David E. Simpson offers a look at an emerging new paradigm: "community-based conservation," which seeks to give indigenous people a voice in the way wildlife is both used and preserved." </span><br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Some of the issues that arise:<br />
<br />
-Wild animals (especially rhinos) can be very dangerous animals and at times pose a threat to villagers in communities adjacent to the conservation areas. Should the communities be able to kill a rhino that has killed some of their own (people and/or cattle), or should they be forced to abstain and have no recourse to this threat?<br />
<br />
-In Namibia, the government has given villagers ownership of the laws which govern how they must deal with wild animals in their areas. On a co-op basis, they decide quotas of how many animals may be killed per month, and it is believed that this forces the villagers to respect their resource and to therefore better protect it. How might an animal rights argument treat this?<br />
<br />
-In Africa, eco-tourism is a major incentive to preserve wilderness and its accompanying animal life. However, the fencing in of lands that once belonged to indigenous peoples hurts them by cutting them off from a resource they once lived off of in a sustainable way. How might one resolve the incompatible desires to preserve wilderness and to allow a culture its own life-sustaining resource in a land where resources are famously scarce? Who wins, people or wilderness? If people, who should have the more favorable access to wilderness resources: tourists and developers or indigenous populations?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221620192474213666.post-70219481851432887442012-01-30T11:40:00.001-05:002012-01-30T11:47:17.720-05:00Is-ought and climate changeMore on the is-ought problem and climate change policy, from philosopher and law professor <a href="http://animalethics.blogspot.com/2011/12/great-climate-hoax.html">Keith Burgess-Jackson's blog</a>:<br /><h3 class="post-title entry-title"> </h3><blockquote><h3 class="post-title entry-title">The Great Climate Hoax </h3> <div class="post-header"> </div> <div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6781166548338074997"> <div style="text-align: left;"> Suppose, for the sake of argument, that the globe is warming. What follows, as a normative matter? Nothing. As David Hume (1711-1776) pointed out long ago, you can't validly deduce an evaluative proposition from a set of factual propositions. (Put differently, there has to be at least one evaluative premise in order for there to be an evaluative conclusion.) What we should do about global warming (again, assuming it exists) depends on the <i>consequences</i> of global warming. Few if any changes have only good consequences or only bad consequences. Almost always, there are both good and bad consequences. Whether we should do something to stop the change, therefore, depends on which type of consequence—good or bad—predominates.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> How often have you heard a dispassionate discussion of the good consequences of climate change? All you hear, day after day, is a depressing litany of bad consequences. This alone shows that global warmists are biased. They want intervention to stop climate change, so they mention only the bad consequences of climate change. A rational person with no ideological axe to grind would attend to good consequences as well as to bad consequences. For example, how many people around the world die of extreme cold as opposed to extreme heat, and how would that change if the globe warmed? What is the optimal temperature for the alleviation of suffering, for both humans and sentient nonhuman animals? How many different species of <a href="http://news.brown.edu/pressreleases/2011/12/mammal" target="_self">animal</a> or plant would there be if the globe warmed, as opposed to how many there are today? What is the optimal temperature for food production? Would there be more food rather than less if the globe warmed?</div> <div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Change <i>per se</i> is neither good nor bad. Whether a given change is good or bad, all things considered, depends on its consequences (and how these are evaluated). I wish scientists would inform the public of <i>all</i> the consequences of global warming, so that the public can decide for itself whether to expend its scarce resources in preventing it. That scientists have not done this is the best evidence yet that they are advocates rather than, as they purport to be, disinterested observers. Is it any wonder that they are not trusted? Do you trust people who are hell-bent on selling you something to the point where they omit relevant information? In law, this is called <a href="http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fraud?region=us" target="_self">fraud</a>.</div> </div> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn">Keith Burgess-Jackson</span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <a class="timestamp-link" href="http://animalethics.blogspot.com/2011/12/great-climate-hoax.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" title="2011-12-27T20:28:00-06:00">8:28 PM</abbr></a> </span></blockquote>I think Burgess-Jackson is exactly right here. Note that this is simply to make a point about logic, and agreement with his logical point says nothing about my own (or anyone else's) position about climate change policy.<br /><br />As an aside, I think it is unfortunate that he uses the term "hoax" in his title, what with the connotations such a term has with other pejoratives such as "climate denier." But presumably he chose that word carefully in order to provoke his readers' thinking.<br /><br />JimJim Tantillohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221620192474213666.post-79535111037898939902012-01-26T12:08:00.000-05:002012-01-31T08:12:49.448-05:00Cole's "The Course of Empire"Our discussion in class today about the human-nature relationship within the past, present, and future reminded me of Thomas Cole's five part series, <i>The Course of Empire.</i> Cole depicts the cyclical rise and fall of an empire, moving from the pastoral and human devoid landscape, to a bustling urban setting, to the demise of the human created world, to the aftermath. I think that the perpetual presence of the natural world, even within the dominating city, reminds me not only of the last man standing's dilemma, but also of the eternal existence of nature. As Cole shows, nature - the trees, grass, water, sun, clouds etc.- is the only thing left, even after the complete desolation of the human community. <div>If nature can withstand the test of time, maybe it has more value even without the presence of human beings. And, from an artistic point of view, maybe this painting shows that there is still (or is more) beauty, solace, and peace without human beings. To me, the calm after the exploitative presence of human beings suggests that the last man standing should not, in fact, set off a nuclear bomb to destroy this scene. </div><div><br /></div><div>Link to the wikipedia page for this work of art: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Course_of_Empire">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Course_of_Empire </a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
