I could care less what you want for your own kids, what about the children of other people like say people born in developing countries at risk to submersion? Are you as cavalier to their concerns?

At risk to submersion? That's the real threat of global warming for you? That people can't walk to higher ground and will just stand there and drown? Climate change will have little direct threat to humanity but a great effect on global ecology and the flora and fauna that humans depend upon.

What should we be focusing on?
|
Economic development of 2nd and 3rd world countries which are among the greatest sources of emissions.
Economic recovery of the western world as people are always more open to social change and social sacrifices regarding the environment, conservation, etc. and focusing on the long run and bigger picture when they themselves are doing well economically and are not worried about their own current well being. This also increases expenditure and investment on green technologies in times of economic boom.
