This case for climate justice feels like a postcard from another time

Julian Zelizer : The U.S. and China together generate more than 45 percent of the world’s total carbon dioxide emissions.

He says we got rich at their expense; we spewed emissions into the atmosphere to raise our own standard of living.

He asks: Do we owe something to the poorer nations most at risk from climate change? Does the welfare of future generations, who are likely to suffer even more because of our human-altered climate, matter as much as that of our current inhabitants?.

Cass R. Sunstein writes in an academic style that can sometimes be off-putting for a lay reader.

But for those willing to stick with it, the payoff is a better understanding of why regulating emissions is so complex.

The book feels like a postcard from a time, deep in the past and yet only weeks ago , when officials at the helm of our government understood the gravity of global leadership.
