< Some social scientists are of the view that it is time for the world to see climate change through a moral prism as there are solid evidences to show that it is real and carbon is the culprit. Discuss this view and see how right the social scientists are. Climate change has been a refrain for decades, and there were skeptics who did not accept the carbon-and-climate-change equation. However, now it is on the face of the world and, some say there is a moral issue in it. Let me see it through such an angle. The whole world over the years had been willfully ignorant of the carbon-begotten climate change. There had been discussions and arguments in circles as big as Global Summits on how carbon has been harming global climate. Simultaneously, nations of all makes went on producing carbon callously. In between, no nation has ever asked a question; “is this mounting carbon footprint going to harm the world in any way?” They were blind to the truth that the world is circle and no one could live in isolation. This blindness has been a moral breach, of course. Now, studies have made it clear that carbon is going sabotage the world climate sooner than later. That is, things have come to such a pass that, unless all of us are able to ask ourselves a simple moral question whenever we happen do something to better our lives. The question is, is it going to put in anything harmful to the already-pressed global climate? If it is in the affirmative, there is a moral issue involved. No doubt, the scientists warn, the world must realize that when one part of the world is immoral in their actions, the other part cannot be free from its effects. The thing with social scientists is that climate change as such may have countless implications and dimensions, but the world can no longer be ignorant of the moral side of carbon menace. It is immoral to be carbon-producing, the social scientists seem to sound so. A jaypeesdoc. 280 words 20.11.14
