Abstract
We argue that philosophers, and especially epistemologists, have more to contribute to the climate change debate than is generally recognized. This book will be unique in addressing the epistemic as well as the ethical issues raised by the debate. We give a brief description of the book’s aims, followed by a brief description of its structure. We also introduce some terminology, which we will be using throughout the book, and give a brief description of climate science as we understand it.
