Andrew Light, Ph.D., from George Mason University and the Center for American Progress, in Washington, D.C., will discuss, "Climate Ethics for a New Administration," on Monday, Dec. 1, at 5 p.m. in SAC 300. We are now at a critical moment in the attempt to forge a path to a global solution to the problem of humanly caused climate change. First, a broad scientific consensus has been reached on the phenomenon itself. Second, an awareness of the enormous threats we face to human and non-human flourishing as we increase global temperature has become a broadly accepted premise for political action. Third, we are on the cusp of an attempt to forge a successor treaty to the United Nations Kyoto Protocol -- hopefully to be settled in Copenhagen in December 2009 -- providing mandatory targets for cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, and in some ways most important, we now have a presidential administration in the U.S. ready to act on this problem. Will there be a role for ethicists in this process? After reviewing the current state of work on the ethics of climate change Dr. Light will argue that philosophers need to move quickly to develop a more "clinical" model of climate ethics, comparable to clinical models of bioethics, if they want to be part of the resolution of this critical problem.

Paradoxically, George W. Bush entered national politics as one of the most popular Texas governors in history, but went on to become as Gary C. Jacobson put it, "a divider, not a uniter." While presidential “greatness” is a slippery concept, traditionally both scholars and the general public have ranked highest those presidents who boldly pushed an activist agenda, and whose ideas seemed in keeping with the times. Arguably, conservative activist George W. Bush fit the bill. So what accounts for the President's unpopularity? Will history support current judgments? What does the scholarly literature have to say about these questions? To explore these issues we will hold an all-day conference at Villanova on Saturday, November 22, 2008, to showcase papers by outstanding scholars with diverse views.
