Summary Of Fair Chore Division For Climate Change By Martino Traxler

The journal article “Fair Chore Division for Climate Change”, written by Martino Traxler, discusses why we should care about global climate change and what we should do about it. The article talks about fair division of chores among nations to stop climate change due to global warming. Responsibility and fair allocation will resolve the problem. Fair chore division includes paying or contributing on an equal per capita basis proportion to relative burdensomeness is divided among the nations into shares. Traxler also mentions that allocation according to a fair chore division into equally burdensome shares best promote international cooperation in dealing with climate change. Traxler’s main points seem reasonable except for the part where Traxler propose that everyone should limit their harmful emissions; secondly, are humans even doing enough to cause global warming. First, Traxler says that each nation should limit the proportion of emissions that they cause. The problem with this is that first world nations have already developed off the back of said harmful emissions. Which means that these nations have effectively denied less developed countries their share of fossil-fuel-based development in the future. This proposal will keep less developed
Water vapor makes up about ninety five percent of the greenhouse gases. Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and miscellaneous other gases (CFC's, etc.), are also mostly of natural origin and very little are caused by humans in the overall scheme of things. So the makes one wonder why global climate change activist skip over the fact that humans just are not creating enough emissions to even be credited to contributing at least one percent of the total greenhouse
