Passing along the problem of global climate change to future generations as a result of our delay indecision or self-interest would be easy. But we simply cannot leave this problem for the children of tomorrow. As stewards of their heritage we have an obligation to respect their dignity and to pass on their natural inheritance so that their lives are protected and if possible made better than our own.
