Abstract
Global warming is a major concern to the present international communities as well as future generations. This paper, first, argues that global warming is foremost a normative issue based on an environmental ethic of global justice and equality between the North and South. Secondly, it exposes the historical development of the political economy of global warming as subordinate to the neo-liberal discourse, which compromises global warming through sustainable development, and intensifies the demand for mark-based solutions. The political economy of global warming is shown here to support this normative claim because the violation of global justice in the North-South divide is an outcome of the neo-liberal discourse. Accordingly, sustainable development and market-based solutions are analysed before expanding the environmental ethic of global justice.
