Why should I care about climate change when I'll most likely be gone when its affects become catastrophic?

Everyone should care about climate change because it is not fair to create problems for the environment and pretend that it doesn't matter because you cannot see the problem. That seems selfish. Also, no one exactly knows what may cause another major disaster that could have been prevented but instead it caused a major catastrophe.

Some of these things that we should be concerned with and have control over are the pollution that we cause to the environment like throwing trash in the rivers and spraying aerosol cans. If you have children and grandchildren, you want to make sure that they are safe from environmental problems. You should also realize that you love your great grandchildren even if you are not alive so you should protect them by protecting the environment.
