"I am not sure that it is fair to say that is a problem we must wrestle with. I guess I would ask which human beings, where and when, are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now, is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take."

    I thought the article cut off Griffin's comment a little short.
