Abstract
"The first session at the Stewardship or Sacrifice conference offered an overview of the facts of climate change from a panel of Penn State scientists, as well as a response from Don Brown on the ethical implications of these facts. The panel noted that atmospheric greenhouse gas levels have increased significantly, that this increase has been caused by emissions from fossil fuels, and that humans are changing the climate. These matters are known with a high level of certainty. There were also interesting discussions of the sociology and economics of climate change. The panel closed by calling for more consideration of the ethical implications of climate change, especially since it threatens many persons in countries least responsible for greenhouse gas emissions."
