摘要

By providing an explicit estimate of the harms caused by the personal greenhouse gas emissions of average Americans, No It (2011) hopes to undermine a common tendency to downplay such emissions and their impacts on global climate change. He estimates that an average American would be responsible for one two-billionth of the suffering or death of two billion people (over the next 1000 years). He treats this as equivalent to being responsible for the suffering or death of one person. The one two-billionth figure is Nolt's rough estimate of the average American's share of the total greenhouse gases contributing to anthropogenic climate change by 2040 (for an individual born in 1960). He suggests that a current average American could be responsible for the suffering or death of even more future people if, for example, more than two billion future people suffer or are killed due to anthropogenic climate change.
