I can even buy that! I have the apparently rare perspective that economic growth is good; climate change is likely to be both deadly and a consistent drag on economic growth; and well-designed policies to decrease carbon emissions (like a carbon tax with rebate) are likely to more than pay for themselves. Climate change denialists seem to have zero interest in that debate, though, while at least green politics seems interested in that dialog.

Yes, people who are highly invested in beach resorts in Siberia will benefit by climate change.
Countries with an aggregate population today of roughly six billion will suffer for it, though.
