Do you think we have a responsibility to stop global warming and destroying the planet?
Absolutely we do. Have you ever moaned about what your parents did for you? I have - my stupid name for starters. I mean, who wants OK for initials? And the next generation is going to have something really major to moan about what we've done for them, big time. When I was a child I had an aunt, a great aunt (not in the sense of a great aunt) who had a beautiful chess set that I wanted very much. I'd been led to believe that she might give/leave it to me. One day she set me a small task which, if I did it successfully, would get me a reward. I was thinking "chess set". It turned out to be a nail file. Soon after that she died. I was expecting the chess set in her will. And she left it to someone who wasn't even a relative. Did I moan? Well, imagine she'd smashed up the chess set then left it to me. How would I feel on opening the box? And what we're doing is exactly that - smashing up something we are going to pass on to the next generation. And it's not just any old thing - it's the one thing they really need, the planet we live on.
