sandymere 8,263 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Or perhaps we, the older generations, have stolen a golden future from the younger generations, even those as yet unborn. "In the same way, the fossil fuelled party of our capitalist global civilisation is in the midst of a financial and ecological borrowing frenzy from the future. And not only are the spoils of our mastery over nature enjoyed by only a minority of the planet, but in geological terms, they are being consumed within an extremely short time-span. In a crisis of modernity that could also be re-interpreted as one of ethics and values, how should we reframe our choices and actions in the present, in light of tomorrow? Surely it is just a matter of standing in the shoes of all future citizens and asking ourselves what sort of planet they would like to live on. Surely our descendants, hundreds and thousands of years into the future, would wish for, and have a right to, the same stable climate and ocean levels that have allowed the attainment of such an advanced and flourishing civilisation today. It is none other than this consideration for future human beings and other life forms that should form the yardstick by which we set our mitigation targets — not merely what is politically and economically feasible for the industrialised world today." from Climate Change: What Happens after 2100? - Our World OURWORLD.UNU.EDU In the future, our descendants have a right to the same environmental stability that allowed our civilisation to prosper.

Start now, that's hunting out Surely then, the Virus is nature's way of cleansing the earth, so why interfere with it with the vaccine program? Just a thought for any evolution buffs out there.
