The Concealments of Carbon Markets and the Publicity of Love in a Time of Climate Change
[Article]
Michael S. Northcott
Leiden
Brill
The Kyoto Protocol and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change have failed to engage the nations in a cooperative approach to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that are destabilizing the earth's climate. Central to this failure is the resort to neo-liberal market techniques-and in particular markets in carbon emissions-for the management of emissions reduction. The resort to Carbon Emissions Trading (CET) reveals the problematic philosophical premises of economic neoliberalism, which include a preference for anonymous algorithms as managers of human affairs over face-to-face political communities and shared engagement of citizens and corporations in practices that promote the common good of a stable climate. It is proposed in this article that a core task of the church's public responsibility in relation to climate change is to offer a theological critique of neoliberal approaches to climate change mitigation and against these to advance a spiritual theology of cooperative action for the common good of a stable climate in which love for near and distant neighbours, and creatures, is the key metaphor.
