Question 1
Stratospheric aerosol injection is a form of:
- solar radiation management
- carbon dioxide removall
- ocean fertilization
- space based geoengineering
Question 2
The Presumptive Argument says:
- wild nature has intrinsic moral worth, so geoengineering is wrong
- geoengineering is unlikely to be successful, so we should not try it
- geoengineering is the lesser of two evils
- geoengineering is likely to lead to ecofascism
Question 3
In ‘Rethinking the Unthinkable’, Christopher Preston’s central thesis is:
- while the intuition behind the presumptive argument is good, its conclusion is defeasible
- geoengineering cannot be ethically supported
- stratospheric aerosol injection is likely to be humanity’s best hope
- the natural/unnatural distinction is untenable
Question 4
Preston uses the example of Ecofascism to show:
- that people do not always regard human interests as more important than the environment
- that geoengineering can lead to fascism
- that the presumtive argument has a flawed premise
- that democracy stands in the way of human survival
Question 5
David Keith’s concern about geoengineering is that:
- it would mean the end of wild nature
- that it would entail the rise of ecofascism
- that the results would be highly unpredictable
- that it would discourage mitigation strategies
