"The Ethics of Climate Change"

John Broome's article "The Ethics of Climate Change" is obviously about climate change. Ethics was used to describe ways to face the issue of global warming. The article's thesis is how to compensate people for bad things that are being done to the environment. It is up to us to handle ways to fix this issue, instead of wasting time using ethics to think of creative ways. The author of the article writes about prioritarianism, giving priority to the less well off. I don't understand what this had to do with the article and how the richer future section of this article had anything to do with climate change. Honestly, this article confuses me.

Likewise, in the article, the idea of fixing society's well being through production was discussed. Our society produces too much waste and needs to start producing more environmentally efficient means of production. He states at the end, "Ethical considerations cannot be avoided in determining the discount rate", and how climate change has to do exactly with ethics. This concept is confusing to me and the only thing I got out of the article was to stop producing waste, which by now is a given, obvious fact.
