Utilitarianism and the Far Future: The Case for Climate Action
By Kelsey Alexander
For decades, utilitarians have debated the correct amount to be concerned about the experiences of people in the future. Most people have the intuition that the lives of people now, who already exist, matter more than the lives of potential people in the future. Yet at the same time, most people also have the intuition that the lives of potential future people matter more than zero. Were the human race to be wiped out by a nuclear war, doubtless it would be a tragedy beyond just the deaths of billions of people; we would be losing our entire future.
Even if we assume that the lives of people in the future are worth only a tiny fraction of the amount that the lives of people who already exist are worth, the case for action is clear. Imagine that the lives of each person who might someday exist is worth a tenth, or even a hundredth, of the amount that the life of a living person is worth. Now realize that there are trillions of potential people. It is clear that it would be worth even a fairly significant increase in the difficulty of our lives for the sake of making their lives better.
But climate change is a serious threat to the flourishing of future people. Even if it required that every person alive today be tortured, preventing climate change would likely increase the total amount of human happiness.

Report By The Crossbench Committee On Arcane Embezzlement
- No evidence substantiable in a court of law can be determined, given that arcane evidence is not yet permissable according to the Supreme Court, as per Crown Prosecution Service v.█████████ (200X).
- However, the committee finds it pertinent to mention that we found evidence pointing to ████████ ██████████ using rituals to siphon funds from other classified ventures in order to fund Project ████████
- Due to the requests of those involved, in particular the young candidate for the Ultimate ██████████, we feel it pertinent to not reveal the members of this commitee to the House of Commons.
- However, we believe that there is evidence to end Crown funding to Project ████████ as result of it gaining funds through illicit methods, and wish to put this to a vote in the House of Commons.
Reason for Rejection: Parliamentary soverignty does not extend to the circumvention of rulings made by the Supreme Court Of The United Kingdom. The government declines to call a session of parliament in order to debate the findings of this report. A █████████ classification will be placed on all instances of this document, and it will be sent to the directors of Project ████████ for review, given the involvement of the (possible) Ultimate █████████ and Ultimate ██████
