Abstract:Would you spend money today to make the world a substantially better place for your children and grandchildren? Most of us would. But what if the benefit would accrue only to your great-great-great-great-grandchildren, not born until the 22nd century? That's an awfully distant time horizon for most people. Many would probably spend today's resources on more immediate concerns.
