they'd probably be more wealthy from their heavy investments in renewable energy, which is more profitable than fossil fuels btw

Wondering now if paradoxically accelerating global warming increases stock ROI in renewables as the perceived value of renewable energy increases with the perceived/predicted level of global warming.
