    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.
