What led us to climate change is going for short-term benefit and leaving the problems to the future. We shouldn't repeat that mistake even though we'll be long gone by the time the problems come to light.
And really we're already too late to prevent most of climate change. Especially because we won't replace fossil with nuclear in 10 years time.

We shouldn't repeat that mistake even though we'll be long gone by the time the problems come to light. That's how anything works, though. You replace the giant bleeding wound with a bandaid, and then you take it off and there's a scab, and then the scab goes away and you have a scar. It's always about replacing something with a lesser problem. For the past few years people have been trying to replace fossils with imaginary clean power, and it hasn't exactly gone great.
