This lecture looks at aspects of the science and narratives of climate change, and also at certain issues of climate justice, to highlight a tension between homocentric and zoe-centric views that marks these discussions. It then goes on to develop an argument about how this working through the tension may help us to reflect back on our understanding of moral dilemmas of the present times.
