    Genuine question: why do you care about climate change if you would be dead by then?

    Empathy, or caring about how other people are affected, even if it doesn’t affect you personally. Empathy is normal and healthy.

    Better question is, why are 60+yo Capitalists who already have more wealth than they could possibly spend before they die, so desperate to hold and collect even more wealth?

      But most of this people doesn’t even exist in the present. I mean, isn’t better that stop having kids, you can kill 2 birds this way: Reduce footprint to ZERO, avoid future generations suffering of global warming.

            How about a 1yo baby that will suffer the effects of climate change their whole life, can you feel empathy for a 1yo baby?

                    There’s tens of millions of 1yo babies, they are all real, they are not imaginary, and they were all born between 12 and 24 months ago.

                    I’m not sure how you avoid the birth of someone who was born between 12 to 24 months in the past.

                    You sound a few fries short of a happy meal.
