Climate Change and Future Generations

The meme here speaks to many Americans’ thinking and behavior with respect to climate change mitigation.  We simply tend not to embrace the needs of other human beings.

There must be a reason that our approach to this subject is so radically different than, say, that of the Scandinavians.  It’s true that our culture has a kind of rugged individualism embedded in it, which could make us more susceptible to Big Oil’s propaganda.

In any case, it’s a tragedy.
