A propos de global warming

If you do A then, long after you are dead, a certain batch of people will exist.

If you do B, long after you are dead, a completely different batch of people will exist, better off than the first batch.

Any preference?

It's one thing to go out of your way to make people happier.

It's another to go out of your way to make happier people.

In the first case, people are better off thanks to you.

In the second case, not.
