Abstract
"The following post examines procedural justice issues that have arisen when some countries from the global South have attempted to get developed countries to take historic responsibility seriously as a way of establishing just national allocations for climate change obligations. And so this post also touches upon a few issues relating to just allocation of national targets. The post also explores the impossibility of completely separating scientific issues from ethical questions. The article makes it clear that to model historic responsibility, ethical issues arise that cant be delegated to scientists alone for resolution. Almost all scientific models of climate change issues require choices that need to be understood as raising ethical questions." (p.1)
