"Future generations are gonna look back on us, and their going to think of us as barbarians. The same way we think of slave traders. They’re going to look at us as barbarians for what we’re doing. The fact that we’re burning all the fossil fuels in a few generations, that we’ve wiped out the oceans, that we’ve driven species into extinction, and worse, this is the worst part, we know what we’re doing. The scientists know, the environmentalists know, the companies know, and the general public knows. And yet we’re allowing ourselves to do it."
