Principle of a common climate or theory of collective goods (collective action on climate). Mancur Olson, Olivier Goddard."
Keywords:
Development, welfare, environment, climate, common good, overexploitationAbstract
Many issues have been raised nationally and internationally, concerning climate change and
environmental pollution because of GHG emissions. For economic reasons and societal wellbeing, the use of fossil and fossil fuels becomes a categorical imperative. But the consequences
were highly influential on the ecosystem and biodiversity. Many plants and animals have
disappeared, the appearance of diseases that threaten the lives of human beings and decreases
life expectancy. Philosophers, economists, lawyers, politicians, unions and associations,
everyone becomes united because this climate good is common and this collective good is
threatened by negative externalities caused by man and his greed. What makes us think, that
each individual is responsible for his behavior in terms of excessive exploitation of fossil and
fossil energies. So we are motivated to contribute to compensation by paying a tax to reduce
its nuisances, for example the profit of a polluting company, and the "net collective product".
The tax is suggested as a way to eliminate a market failure, or what is considered today as
polluter pays. Will these solicited solutions be sufficient to preserve in the long term the
common good of all? The analysis of this problematic situation, concerning the climate as a
collective good, requires, in my opinion, to refer to studies made by economists and
philosophers like Moncur Olson, and Olivier Godard
