Billions are living in flooded areas because...
... because they may have no other option? Couldn't afford batch at ski field ? Can have a job other that this billionaire create in this overpopulated area for them? Billionaire will create job where is plenty of cheap labour - overpopulated cities - not at empty outback. Remember that those billionaires now our gods and blessing by providing job opportunity for everyone.Without that the world will die, people don't have anything to do at all.The point I am trying to make is that people as humanity could adjust to any changes -by simple definition of intelligence.But they need some means to do so. So I would rather direct the flow of the green money not to reverse what is already impossible - pump co2 inground, cool the earth air and ocean , stop wind but smart planning and adaptation. Venice and New Orlean need to finish their protection from sea levy, people from Delhi opportunity to move inland, Sydney and Melbourne relocate people beyond Ballarat.Sometimes you don't need even money but to brake red tape.People could not relocate from Melbourne, Sydney , Brisbane to outback for purely bureaucratic reason. Farm like mine > 50 Ha - is classified as commercial and no other lendings for banks apply but commercial ( residential rates are lower and interest too) .Government do not allow to reclassify those rural blocks - by splitting them into smaller parcels too.Sudden availability of cheap land could ruin high home prices in the cities! But the main interest is to keep house prices high , not lower them. Land is main factor - but there is shortage of that land in the least populated continent on Earth. So climate discussion is not so much ecologica but economical.

Does protesters in Paris take care about effects of burning machinery on climate change and air pollution?
Maybe not enough, So billionaires that could not fight back due to protection by free speech etc could fine those people for air pollution, The strict low and penalties are already there , waiting to strike those crowds. every big factory may have a limit how much could emit pollution for free but there is not such thing on burning public differ and buses.
Many may not appreciate complexity / simplicity of the problem. It is no longer plan for the future of the society or planet but plan to win election - whatever it takes. For now you don't need to win votes because you could buy them.
