Well, this is an issue that bothers the bejebus out of me.
I don't have a car for environmental reasons.
I am a vegetarian for environmental reasons.
I have had my home evaluated to reduce electrical and gas consumption.
And I know that anything I do will be for nought because there are way too many politicians who are ignoring the problem.
And the people who are ignoring the problem will be long dead before the major consequences are felt.
I can plant failsafe bombs set to go off in 2208 and be fairly certain that I won't be up on murder charges. Because the people I kill will only be dead long after I am. I haven't read that "is time travel possible" thread cause I think we really need it.
For the monkeys that we are, we really can't be expected to think about consequences that will happen 100 years from now. That monkey inside of us is far too concerned with hookers and blow.
