To illustrate the dangers of this position, I argue that approaches that aim to avoid justice are at risk of endorsing climate extortion, a clear violation of ethical norms. Consequently, norms of global, corrective and intergenerational justice must be incorporated in any reasonable and feasible climate policy that does not violate intelligibility constraints.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stephen M.
