> When you're dead 25 feels the same as a few million years from what I was told.

Not if you have children.

And the happiness of your children is affected if they know that their children will die from climate change. And so on, transitively.

It’s a beautiful thing that kids give you: a sense of purpose that extends below your own lifetime.

I'm starting the question chaotic climate happening in my lifetime - 37. "Not being around" is something geriatrics get to enjoy, so basically all of our politicians.

That's 4 billion years from now, in the meanwhile we could keep the planet livable and not on a course to venusian climate.

This is closer to paranoia than really concerns about the guy you answer. Million of years or billions don't matter much in the context of what he is saying, nor does it really serve his point. I see the mistake but not the malice. And I don't understand why you want to flag/ban.

Millions or billions of years after you're dead makes as much difference as 25, that is my point.

As for the rest of your calling for banning, people can look at my history of more than 10 years of comments on HN and decide if it's fair to call for banning someone like this, lol.

Because these are the same talking points billionaires use to scare people with maybe twenty five dollars in cash accounts and no savings and people who have a couple million dollars into believing misinformation about taxes. Our taxes (in the US) are pretty low by any standard. Saying a billion dollars is "a few million" is disingenous. Nobody is arguing for higher taxes on everyone. Normally, I would believe someone is just a useful idiot (like I am most of the time) but you seemed too knowledgeable to be ignorant.
