The moral problem of posterity harm is the changes we are willing to make

Evidence

Making the planet less habitable for those to come raises profound moral issues. This foreshortened, self-centered perspective is captured in a jesting banner hung from a freeway bridge: “What have future generations done for us?” (Gillis, 2014c). The crucial moral question concerns the changes we are willing to make to mitigate the harm inflicted on future people. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2628
