How long do you think this climate crisis will last?
If you think it will be over, or at least completely unrecognizable, in 50 years your - in itself valid - concern doesn't matter.
If I imagine people 50 or 100 years ago trying to plan to solve our problems in 2019, knowing what they did then, I don't think they could have accomplished much of anything of substance, even with the best intentions and the commitment of huge resources.
