We already know that climate change will apparently not affect rich people alot.

Probably somehow very few on hn.

Sooo we should probably even stop talking about it I assume?

Anyway you are aware of people/scientist saying things like 'much earlier than expected '?

We still don't know if the current scenarios will hold.

There should be a general sense that sustainability should benefit all of us.

Investing in long term topics should benefit us all as well.

So honest question of Rich people are 90% of the economy and climate change won’t impact them much then is a huge climate change cost really a possibility?

I hope so

I have a conscience others as well.

Also the economic version of it: mass migrations, labor shortages, unstable countries are bad for people in a service oriented society.

The riots in USA can be a typical symptom.

Of course USA is a bad example due to it being normal of having gated communities but other countries do not have that as extreme.
