James Garvey (born 1967) is an American philosopher based in Britain.
[1] He is editor of The Philosophers’ Magazine, a quarterly which aims to publish readable, accessible philosophy.
[2] With Jeremy Stangroom, he edits Think Now, a series of books on social and political philosophy.
[4] In The Ethics of Climate Change, Garvey summarises what moral philosophy does, examines the strength of the evidence for global warming, and analyses various possible policy responses.
He argues that the line that taking drastic action to curb global warming would be bad for the economy amounts to “harming people for money”, and gives reasons for individual action on climate change.
