ABSTRACT

The question whether Homo sapiens is truly sapiens (wise) has been the subject of lively debate in recent years in light of humanity’s inadequate response to a number of global catastrophic risks, among them climate change. While countless types of explanation could be proposed for humanity’s inadequate response to climate change, this article limits itself to two which locate the problem in universal human nature. The first is drawn chiefly from the evolutionary biology of Edward O. Wilson, the second from the Christian theology of Reinhold Niebuhr. These two explanations are best viewed as mutually complementary.

智人？理解人类面对气候科学的惯性

摘要

无论问题智人是真正的智人（WISE）已经在光人类应对许多全球性巨灾风险，他们应对气候变化中的不足一直是热烈的辩论的主题在最近几年。虽然可以对人类对气候变化的反应不足提出无数种解释，但本文将其限制为两种，将问题定位于普遍的人性。第一个主要来自 Edward O. Wilson 的进化生物学，第二个来自 Reinhold Niebuhr 的基督教神学。这两种解释最好被视为相互补充。
