    Okay, so go out and pay millions of dollars yourself and do it. If you can’t, why do you expect anyone else to do that, with no hope of return, no hope of sustainability and such?

      Because they should care about the future of the human race more than their current bank balance.

      We’re doomed as a species.

        Then again - go out, sell your house and do it. It’s great to be outraged when “nobody is doing it”. Yet everything requires money to do. I have a company producing humanitarian supplies. Do you think I would be able to do it / should I do it for free?

          You’re preaching from the selfish soapbox of only caring about your own bank account, not humanity’s best interests.

          Expending my assets to make a difference wouldn’t make a dent and I’d be completely left with nothing. Someone with massive wealth can expend 95% of their resources and still live a more comfortable existence than 99% of us.

          Why are we protecting the dragons sitting on the piles of gold instead of taking the gold and investing in our species’ future prosperity?

          We’re doomed.
