This is an invited commentary on an article by Peter Rudiak-Gould, an anthropologist who has written extensively on climate change as it pertains to the Marshall Islands. It aims to extend his analysis of how to understand Marshall Islanders’ self-blame for global climate change, when their impact on the climate is, in real terms, negligible.
