• To what extent do Caney's arguments about reparations regarding anthropogenic climate change apply to the issue of reparations for slavery?

    Caney makes a strong case to show that not paying forward reparations is in no way turning a blind eye towards people of color in terms of historical injustices. It is a very generalized idea in terms of it being right that people don't recognize the flaws in doing so. In terms of environmental reparations, Caney does not believe anyone is entitled to protection from climate threats, yet argues that people in places like Africa and other lower end countries bear the effects the hardest. Caney has problems with Parfit's take on climate in which he says it actually benefits future people. With people already feeling the effects of climate change, and a potential skyrocket of hunger Caney believes that action must taken. Her arguments about reparations do not apply to her views on climate reparations because the effects of Climate Change are current and future, and the wrongdoings and racial injustices are mostly in the past. Although there are ties, each issue has its major differences.
