If people can stop thinking about themselves and instead focus on humanity across time as a whole, should we end the ice age or keep our ski resorts? Remember me, me, me, and you live in the holocene.
- amanaplanacanal 4y agoIt’s hard to do a cost benefit analysis on climate change. Is it possible that the benefits outweigh the costs long term? Maybe. Unfortunately the costs will mostly be to one group of people, and the benefits to different groups. The amount of human suffering before we reach some steady state in the future is going to be horrendous.
