Chances are, there's a huge amount of love for short term profits supporting whatever acceptable long term solution to the worlds ills a person may have in mind when they worry about the love of short term profits.  

The idea that we're about to fall off a cliff has never been anything more than promissory, and it's been wrong in every case thusfar.  It may be right tomorrow, but if that's so, perhaps we should let as many people attempt to enjoy as much of life as they can before the curtain falls.  That opportunity was afforded to us, after all.

I think there is a huge difference between accepting the ride ends, and selfishy shortening it for others.

Our species will die and go extinct and for whatever reason someone wants to attach that to, superstition, religion or science, it makes no sense for anyone who wants a future for their offspring to simply use and exploit faster now if they want to leave something behind. Yes, the ride ends, but enjoying it should not be so selfish as to not think about what you leave behind.
