"This wide-ranging and engaging collection probes a number of the important political, ethical, and cultural dimensions of climate change, shining a helpful light on the maladies it finds and providing numerous provocative hints of the treatments required. [A]n important read at a critical time."

-Christopher Preston, Department of Philosophy, University of Montana

"This is a fine collection, which carefully delineates many of the major approaches to the ethics, politics and philosophy of global climate change. With fourteen substantive chapters, Di Paola and Pellegrino’s collection, Canned Heat, provides a useful overview for both the layperson and the scholar; viewing climate change from a multitude of perspectives, including that of the refugee, the democratic government, even the Buddhist philosopher."
