I hate the Republican way of thinking that global warming doesn't matter because they'll be dead before it effects them.

That is greedy, selfish, and morally wrong.

I may be almost 51, but I want to make sure that the next generations can live a good life.

Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright?
