EDIT Ok so it's just the trolly problem.

EDIT2 : AHA War Games 1983. "The only winning move is not to play." (We might call this the final product of a lot of smart philosophical digestion, because it's a famous movie). There's always the perfectly valid option to ditch the riddle. (Because maybe the riddle is dumb, or maybe the riddle is no better than a thousand others, utilitywise )

If they are going to be living short lives in tortuous conditions thanks to climate change anyways, than yes. Otherwise no.

Could we maybe substitute the children with the one million richest people on the planet?
