The benefits of my installing a 2k sqft walk in storage freezer outweigh the costs, but does that mean that I have a moral responsibility to do so, or that the moral benefits outweigh the moral costs? That's pretty much a perfect case in point. Every single cubic inch of cold storage is an environmental problem, but it's a human necessity, how do we figure out how many inches to spare?
Helping one group of people without taking into account the harm you do to another is not a moral consideration. It's the abrogation of moral consideration for the practical benefit of a limited group. Here again, I'm wondering what the now described as obvious example of moral intervention that exacerbated climate change is?
Not, mind you, because I think there can/could be no such thing, just curious. That would stand as a moral intuition of your own. I'm never confused when I'm hurting people™. My intuition points it out and I hurt people knowing that I do so, for effect, as my example from earlier might communicate.
