Reflections on Carbon Output

Title: Them and Us: Reflections on Carbon Output in the Developing World
Speaker: Martin Bunzl, Department of Philosophy, Rutgers University. Discussant: Michael Oppenheimer is the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School and the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University.

Lecture Abstract: Recent studies project that Developing World carbon output will be large enough to create a climate crisis in and of itself by mid-century - irrespective of actions by the Developed World. In this talk I will examine the implications of this claim for the terms in which debates about climate are usually posed. I argue that a simple per capita allocation is an unlikely formula for success even if it is prima facie fair.

Seriously. I used to live in Princeton, and I love watching these talks, but the audio is just so bad on some of the presentations that it makes them unwatchable. Its a shame, too, because these presentations are generally so interesting and relevant. I end up feeling bad for the knowledge that could be imparted upon society, but is instead wasted in presentation.
