The indeterminacy objection against emissions egalitarianism
Emissions egalitarianism is the view that permits to generate greenhouse gas emissions should be distributed equally per capita. This article presses an underappreciated objection against emissions egalitarianism: the indeterminacy objection. According to this objection, emissions egalitarianism is problematic because, when allocating an emissions budget, it will be unclear what an equal share is because it is uncertain how long this budget is to…
Defeating Wrongdoing
It is sometimes suggested that victims of unjust harm should take priority over victims of other forms of harm. We explore four arguments for this view: that victims of unjust harm experience greater suffering; that prioritizing victims of unjust harm would help prevent unjust harm in the future; that it is good for perpetrators that their victims be prioritized; and that it is impersonally better that victims of unjust harm are prioritized. We a…
Fair-play obligations and distributive injustice
This article investigates the relationship between distributive injustice and political obligation within the confines of the fair-play theory of political obligation. More specifically, it asks how the distribution of benefits and burdens of a cooperative scheme affects people’s fair-play obligations to that scheme. It argues that neither a sufficiency-based nor a proportionality-based approach is capable of answering that question singlehandedl…

Consumption-based emissions accounting
The normative debate surrounding consumption-based emissions accounting, conceived of as a method for constructing national emissions inventories, is investigated. The focus is to examine whether such accounting would be more just than the current method of production-based accounting. It is argued that there is no good reason to think that consumption-based accounting would be less just, and some reason to think that it would be more just. The c…

Why (most) climate insurance schemes are a bad idea
Various insurance schemes are increasingly considered as part of a comprehensive set of responses aimed at adapting the world to future climate change. Insurance is believed to provide resources needed to rebuild societies following adverse effects of extreme weather events, and do so in a way that encourages preventive, risk-reducing action. After investigating the idea of climate insurance from a normative standpoint, it is argued that when und…
Betting Against Compatibilism
Almost Pregnant
The turn from deterministic to probabilistic explanations has been used to argue that social science does not explain human action in ways that are incompatible with free will, since, according to some accounts of probabilism, causal factors merely influence actions without determining them. I argue that the notion of nondetermining causal influence is a multifaceted and problematic idea, which notably is unclear about whether the probability is …
Betting Against Hard Determinism
Dual climate change responsibility
In this paper it is argued that climate change adaptation poses different moral questions than mitigation. Proceeding from a ‘hybrid’ model recently advanced by Simon Caney, an analytical framework for determining responsibility, which is based on a distinction between causal and remedial responsibility as well as one between well-off and badly-off agents, is constructed and applied. It is concluded that whether the burdens are envisioned as ones…
