"This paper points out the clear and present danger that today's children may be handed a deteriorating climate with consequences out of their control. Environmentalists need to recognize that attempts to force all-renewable policies on all of the world will only assure that fossil fuels continue to reign for baseload electric power, making it unlikely that abundant affordable power will exist and implausible that fossil fuels will be phased out. Our paper was initiated to provide the scientific basis for legal actions against national and state governments for not doing their job of protecting the rights of young people and future generations."
