Reply #62: yeah, because people having kids today don't need to care.

The end will be bad, but the lead up will be worse.

Imagine if you will the circumstances of our nation running out of power as the earth heats up.

That is currently happening and the worst is yet to come.

We will experience it.

It just won't suddenly happen.

Unless you are currently in your late 70's, you will feel it's effects before you pass away.

Say you are 20 years old. IF you live a long life by current standards, you will experience the absolute worst of this. If you have a child today, right now, they will certainly experience this as a part of their life.

This is not "after" we die. This is now.

This moment.

Here.

What we are doing at this very moment in time, is having a direct effect on that moment in the future when climate change peaks.

It's our actions that have this effect.

Me, writing this response is contributing to that future.

Every. single. thing. we. do.

I don't have kids. But I'm not so selfish to believe that because I won't live to see the final result, climate change and my contribution to it, is someone else's problem to deal with.
