Stephen M. Gardiner is Professor of Philosophy and Ben Rabinowitz
Endowed Professor of the Human Dimensions of the Environment at the
University of Washington, Seattle. He is the author of A Perfect
Moral Storm (Oxford, 2011), editor of Virtue Ethics, Old and New
(Cornell, 2005), and co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of
Environmental Ethics (Oxford, in press) and Climate Ethics:
Essential Readings (Oxford, 2010). His research focuses on
global
environmental problems, future generations and virtue ethics. David
A. Weisbach is the Walter J Blum Professor at the University of
Chicago Law School and Senior Fellow at the University of Chicago
Computation Institute and Argonne National Laboratories. Weisbach's
research primarily focuses on issues related to taxation and on
policy aspects of climate change. Weisbach received his BS in
Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 1985; a Masters in
Advance Study (Mathematics) from Wolfson College, Cambridge in
1986; and a JD from Harvard Law School in 1989. After graduating
from law school, Weisbach clerked for Judge Joel M. Flaum of the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and worked as an
associate in the law firm of Miller & Chevalier. In 1992, Weisbach
joined the Department of Treasury where he worked as an
attorney-advisor
in the Office of the Tax Legislative Counsel and, subsequently, as
associate tax legislative counsel. In 1996, Weisbach was appointed
Associate Professor of Law at Georgetown Law Center and joined the
Chicago
faculty in 1998.
"One of the most refreshing aspects of Gardiner and Weisbach's
contribution to this debate is that both of them--Gardiner a
philosopher, Weisbach an economist--think that rapid
decarbonization must be the paramount aim of climate policy...this
is an extremely valuable book and I recommend it warmly. Both
authors display an admirable tenacity, courage, forbearance, and
intelligence. Their debate marks a significant advance in our
attempts to grapple with this
most serious of issues." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
