Excerpt: __... we cannot use the excuse that “we did not know.” We know, and we have chosen a climate of betrayal of the future. We are the last generation with the opportunity to make a significant impact on climate change. Up until now, we have exhibited a massive collective moral failure characterized by a glaring lack of empathy for each other and generations to come. One has to wonder what it will take for us to care enough about each other and the rest of life to change the way we live our lives. Our generation is pulling the trigger on the climate change gun while billions of persons of current and future generations have their hands up pleading for us not to shoot. ~ Mark Davies, Dean of the Petree College of Arts and Sciences and Wimberly Professor of Social Ethics at Oklahoma City University. oneworldhouse.net/2014/11/06/climate-of-betrayal/
