- One of the principles on how to act under moral uncertainty, My Favourite Theory, says roughly that a morally conscientious agent chooses an option that is permitted by the most credible moral theory. In defence of this principle, we argue that it prescribes consistent choices over time, without relying on intertheoretic comparisons of value, while its main rivals are either plagued by moral analogues of money pumps or in need of a method for making non‐arbitrary intertheoretic comparisons. We rebut the arguments that have been levelled against My Favourite Theory and offer some arguments against intertheoretic comparisons of value.

Consumption-Based Emissions Accounting and Historical Emissions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper argues that, unlike the production-based emissions accounting (on which emissions are attributed to producers of goods and services), the consumption-based emissions accounting (on which emissions are attributed to consumers of these goods and services) can solve the problem of historical emissions. This problem concerns the question of how to assign remedial responsibility for emissions that were made by people who are now dead. Since historical emissions are embedded in the goods consumed by present consumers, and since present consumers can (unlike past producers) do something about their emissions, a consumption-based accounting can contribute to solving the climate crisis.

Libertarianism and Climate Change
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this dissertation, I investigate the implications of libertarian morality in relation to the problem of climate change. This problem is explicated in the first chapter, where preliminary clarifications are also made. In the second chapter, I briefly explain the characteristics of libertarianism relevant to the subsequent study, including the central non-aggression principle. In chapter three, I examine whether our individual emissions of greenhouse gases, which together give rise to climate change, meet this principle. I do this based on the assumption that we are the legitimate owners of the resources we use in those activities. In the fourth chapter, I question this assumption and scrutinize libertarianism’s restrictions on appropriations of climate-relevant resources, which leads me to distinguish between some different versions of the libertarian view. Toward the end of the chapter, I also examine libertarianism’s answer to the political question regarding how emission rights should be distributed. The fifth chapter investigates libertarianism’s verdicts for mere risks of infringement, as stemming from people’s emissions and acts of appropriations. In chapter six, I investigate the libertarian right to self-defense against both the effects of climate change and other people’s climate-relevant activities. In chapter seven, I discuss two intergenerational issues related to climate change: what libertarianism says concerning future generations and how libertarianism might deal with the problem of historical emissions. The eighth chapter explores the implications of libertarianism regarding collective moral wrongdoing in connection to climate change. In chapter nine, I take a look at the libertarian room for governmental responses for tackling climate change. The tenth and final chapter is a summary. The overall conclusion of the dissertation is that libertarianism recommends that we reduce our emissions and decrease our extraction of natural resources such as forests and fossil fuels. Furthermore, governments are permitted to undertake some quite substantial actions in order to fight the causes of climate change. I end with some bottom-up reflections on what these conclusions might say about the plausibility of libertarianism. I claim that although libertarianism after all manages to explain some of our moral intuitions regarding climate change, it is questionable whether libertarianism’s explanation is better than those offered by alternative moral theories.

Miljöetik : Från problem till lösning
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vi blir allt fler människor på jorden och våra aktiviteter tär på miljön. Vi skövlar regnskogarna, utfiskar haven och släpper ut gifter och koldioxid i atmosfären. Temperaturen höjs, vattennivåer stiger och djurarter hotas av utrotning. Naturkatastrofer och felslagna skördar gör att världens svältsituation förvärras. Med större medvetenhet om de stegrande miljöproblemen aktualiseras frågor om våra moraliska förpliktelser att förhindra denna utveckling. Har vi ett ansvar att stoppa miljöförstöringen? I så fall, gentemot vad eller vem? Och hur ser vårt ansvar ut gentemot kommande generationer? Trots den vetenskapliga enigheten om miljöproblemen står världen oenig om hur de ska lösas. Utgångspunkten i denna bok är att oenigheterna till stor del beror på att vi har olika grundsyn i moralfrågor – frågor som varken vetenskaperna eller politiken kan besvara. För detta syfte behövs etiken. Miljöetiken är den gren av etiken där de moraliska frågorna kring miljöproblemen studeras i detalj. Det är också vad som görs i denna bok.
