Off-Earth Geoethics (by Ilan Kelman, UK)
Geoethics examines the ethics of human and Earth interactions. Topics range from planetary-scale modifications for stopping human-caused climate change through to creating local micropollution for improving livelihoods. All subjects also apply to human interests away from the Earth, including spaceships, space stations, other planets, moons, and stars.
