We’re still collectively free-riding on a 150-year old “steal” — burning our very distant ancestors for fun and profit. The hard workers get a bit more of the fossil fuel pie for a lot higher effort. And we’re always paying off old externality debts and creating new ones.

We’re paying for ancestral sins like the invention of religion, the food pyramid, etc. We’re bequeathing a high-carbon, destabilized environment for future generations to deal with. We’re a free-ride/pass-the-buck species.
