"The mysteries of motivation that have bamboozled many students of climate change are confronted head-on in this ground-breaking and valuable exploration of the psychological mechanisms of moral disengagement that underlie our mystifying inaction in the face of the growing dangers. The authors thoroughly demonstrate how deeply misleading our conventional phenomenology of moral agency is as ordinarily applied to climate change and suggest positive strategies for tackling moral disengagement while time remains. " -Henry Shue, University of Oxford, UK "Is anyone responsible for climate change? Slippery politicians and clever philosophers often argue that no one is. This book takes on the arguments and finds them wanting. A timely, engaging and insightful contribution to a vital debate. "
