This kind of weighing is inevitable and we see it everyday. We are sacrificing current GDP to mitigate climate change for the benefit of future generations. Countries invest real dollars today in their infrastructure that will benefit the unborn.

If not for the value of future human life, perhaps we should crank up CO2 production and go out with one hell of a party. We might be able to minimize the impact to most people living today if we double our fossil fuel use. Replace the green new deal with a huge party fund.
