Disparagement of Climate Change Research: A Double Wrong - Ethical Engineering for International Development and Environmental Sustainability - page 186

environmental issues as well as write on the danger of climate change, motivated by
concern for future generations and the natural world. Both have been arrested sev-
eral times. However, it is Stern, the economist, who, defending himself from the
'low discount rate' accusation referred to earlier, puts it most clearly: '… there is no
getting away from the fact that making policy towards climate change unavoidably
requires one to take a stand on ethical questions' (Stern 2009 : 77).
