Go ahead and laugh it up, buddy.

The fact of the matter is that if your personal expected lifespan is only going to last another 40 or 50 years, then you should be like everyone else: think of the earth like a cheap hotel room you can trash, and never think twice about when you leave.
(edit to add this part is obvious satire)
