As to the persons who DO and WILL exist, including us and future generations, yes, they have a right to a habitable planet in the same way that you have the right to not choke on your own oxygen. We all share the air we breathe and we all have a duty to protect it.
Yucca Mountain was proposed to be made into a nuclear waste dump. Part of the plans to build the dump included warning signs written with pictures so that any intelligent being should be able to decipher them. The concern is the site would be toxic so long that English or any other language in use today....might be dead and forgotten. In your opinion if Yucca Mountain was built, would we the builders have a moral obligation to put up such signs?
