They're useful if the feedback comes in time to alter behavior. Setting up an elaborate "feedback" system that advises my posterity long after I'm dead whether I did good or not can hardly be called that. Most people are concerned about their own lives in the future (look at all the SS concern these days). Looking ahead is not bad. Most people have the sense to consider it. I'd say that's just the way the cookie crumbles. The people on the short end of the stick don't see it that way. One could resort to war I suppose. IMO, the solution to the problem is in step two--whether it's bad or good. I say it's neither bad nor good but simply natural, so que sera sera. In that case, one and three don't really matter. Well, one can take the approach that nuclear waste in your back yard is natural also. So how can I argue with human induced global warming?
