The Philosophy of Global Warming Neil Paul Cummins

This is my most comprehensive and definitive work. In it you will learn:

What the philosophy of global warming is and why it is of great importance.

Why the decision-making process concerning the appropriate human response to global warming requires a consideration of the evolutionary forces which propel the planet.

Why cutting fossil fuel emissions is a futile exercise.

What the human species is and how it relates to the non-human life-forms of the Earth.

Why the human species has a special place in the universe and how this is related to global warming.

What it means to say that your life has a purpose.

Why the evolution of technology and the evolution of spirituality are deeply interconnected.

Why there is an urgent need for the technological regulation of the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere.

The book has 3 parts. Part 1 contains 12 chapters each of which contains a particular theme which is of relevance to the philosophy of global warming. Taken as a whole this part of the book can be thought of as providing a detailed overview of my philosophical worldview. Part 2 is a lengthy dialogue in which I respond to an Objector who poses 86 questions, queries and objections relating to my philosophical worldview. Part 3 contains 37 articles which expand on particular topics relating to the philosophy of global warming. I hope that by the end of the book you will have a clear understanding concerning your, and our, place in the universe and how this relates to global warming.
