    It’s playing the odds. Can I make enough money to keep me comfortable?

    Nobody (with money) cares if the world spontaneously catches fire in 200 years. It literally won’t affect them.

    Can “I” (with money) make enough to mitigate the results of climate change before everyone else (without money) suffers from it?

    How much money is that? Well “I” don’t know, I better make as much as possible. Hopefully I can make money faster than the world burns.
