An activity to improve the well-being of some impoverished people will provide benefits of $1 million right now, but it will obliterate the earth in 200 years. The world's value in 200 years is projected at $1012 (i.e. $1000 billion). There are no costs or benefits between these two dates.
(a) Is it worth avoiding the world's destruction in 200 years at a 10 percent discount rate? (b) Is it worth avoiding the world's destruction in 200 years at a 6 percent discount rate? (c) If 10 percent is the interest rate in the private sector, what are some of the arguments for using a 10 percent discount rate? (d) What are some of the arguments for a lower discount rate? (e) Do you think discounting and benefit-cost analysis are appropriate ways to handle this problem? Why or why not?

(c) Which of these two approaches seems to make more sense in this case?
