Damages for who?
Someone else will get suckered into paying for it, I'll get to keep MY money and the problem will be fixed.
Now, if the government is willing to pay me billions to fix it, I might be interested... /S
That's literally it, except for the part where they even care that the problem even gets fixed at all.
Investors/Rich people: "I'll be dead, I don't care. I will make tons of money until the day I die."
Damages?
More like gross income for a smart, proactive company.
All this spending to repair damages and save lives is the biggest revenue opportunity of the century.
Climate change is an opportunity, not a problem, it could make you rich if you work hard enough.

"There's a lot of money to be made with the end of the world."
Whom*
But, seriously: it's great that we know the names of these assclowns with that sort of money and where they are, right? I've always wanted to grab one of those signs that they put on schools & clinics: "Heroes work here" and pop it proudly on a mobile guillotine rig. Simply showing up might be all the incentive needed. 🤷🏼♂️
The other half of “for whom” is what parts of the world. Does it cost anything if the impact is felt by people who can’t do anything about it, in a cold world where no one cares to help?
