tbh maybe it's good and changes something quicker and on the long term that rich people experience it firsthand before the Maldives or Bangladesh
(probably nothing just me being optimistic but the rich always have a get out of jail card, like X more properties)
Shorelines and sea levels never changed before the industrial revolution, the only thing that causes change in climate is man's reliance on CO2-based fuels.
PS - Look at Bangladesh's ship breaking industry to see how much they care about the environment.
