Don Brown, newly appointed to the first interdisciplinary chair on the ethics of climate change (at Penn
State University), will be interviewed on "The Ethics of Climate Change," how those who contributed the
least will suffer the most. For example, the head of the UN speaks of Sudan as being one of the first
casualties of Climate Change, where pervasive draught in the southern part of Sudan led to population
migration. Don told me that at one of the international Climate Change conferences he attended, one of
the South American government officials asked him regarding our disinterested government:
"Have they no shame?"
