After Admitting That the Harms You Do Through Your Greenhouse

question 1089

Essay

After admitting that the harms you do through your greenhouse gas emissions will be spread across many people, those harms are still significant because each person harmed by your emissions will also be harmed by many other people's emissions. Suppose that someone replied that since you personally aren't causing serious harm to anyone, you aren't personally obligated to address those harms by offsetting your emissions. How might Broome respond to this objection?
