- mrguyorama 4y agoNo, previous generations profited from easy access to energy, and let all that profit concentrate in the hands of the few, meaning that average people born today have a measurably crummier chance at a good life than previous generations.

"Peak oil" and CO2 are just the tip of the iceberg. Some future generation is going to dig up the garbage we buried and harvest it for resources. To a degree we're already doing this ourselves looking for stuff like palladium and rhodium.
