Thankfully, those who are yet to be born will be many more numerous and possess better technology with which to pay the debt we charge up.


"Thankfully, those who are yet to be born will be many more numerous"

The 3rd world will be more numerous, the current citizens of the first world will not. We're already seeing societal strains rising from the introduction of 3rd world peoples intended to make up for the missing offspring of existing 1st world peoples so I highly doubt things will work out as easily (and peacefully) as you assume they will.


It had better be a lot better technology, since we have permanently reduced Earth's carrying capacity and ruined the climate.
