Saving the Earth from people

[GoodCallYouWin]

The people who argue for resource conservation are usually the people who argue for transferring wealth from the rich to the poor. But if we are to conserve resources for a future generation to use, that future generation is going to be richer than us, so we are transferring wealth from the poor to the future rich. Doesn't make much sense to me!

Their debatable assumption must be that if we don't conserve future generations will be poorer than us.
