本文认为，人为造成的气候变化揭示了自由主义私有财产概念中以前未被认识或忽视的方面。它表明，私有财产的概念促进了“气候变化关系”，即人类活动、自然世界和气候变化对人类的影响之间的联系。基于这一联系，文章对私有财产及其在气候变化等全球现象中的作用提出了四种思考：首先，私有财产的“观念”（人们普遍持有的关于私有财产是什么的信念）是罪魁祸首；第二，私有财产是“主权”，是支配他人的权力，它赋予其持有者全球影响力；第三，由于这一理念影响了主权的行使，私有财产使个人成为生态殖民者；最后，私有财产的未来可能需要我们更加关注思想的转变和全球对这一概念的关注。虽然这些反思是初步的和程序性的，但它们需要进一步的研究，以及重新思考和重新构思我们与他人相处方式的自由基础的意愿。
This article argues that human-caused climate change reveals previously unrecognised or overlooked aspects of the liberal concept of private property. It suggests that the concept of private property facilitates the ‘climate-change relationship’, a connection between human activities, the natural world and the human consequences of climate change. Based upon this link, the article offers four reflections on private property and its role in global phenomena like climate change: first, that the ‘idea’ of private property (the popularly held belief about what it is) is a primary culprit; second, that private property is ‘sovereignty’, power over others, which gives its holders global reach; third, that because the idea informs the exercise of sovereignty, private property makes eco-colonialists of individuals; and finally, that the future of private property may require us to give greater attention both to a shift in the idea and a global focus regarding the concept. While these ruminations are preliminary and programmatic, what they necessitate is further research and a willingness to rethink and reconceive the liberal foundations of the way we live with and relate to others.
