No matter what we do, this is not a problem that anyone alive today will see fixed.

I'll be fucked sideways with a three pronged dildo if I don't do whatever I can to leave this place better than how it was left to me, no matter how small the outcome of my efforts may be.

The mentality of "whoever comes next can deal with it" is what took us here.

This problem is humongous, if not humanity ending, and yet somehow most people think it's something science will solve within the next few years.

If there is one thing we are good at is finding solutions for problems. Unfortunatelty, we often create new problems for ourselves, which is a nasty habit we should look into solving as well. Not doing anything, at all, is not what we are.
