I’m having some trouble understanding what exactly is the confusion here. If the sea level rises it’s not like people will just keep living underwater. They have to move somewhere else. Entire cities and towns has to be relocated elsewhere. Besides building massive sea walls there’s just no other option. This in no way implies it’s not going to absolutely suck for the people living there. Ofcourse it does.
What exactly is it that Ben is wrong about here? This is really confusing to me
His trope and that of the people he finances is climate change denial and libertarianism. It doesn’t need to be in that video, but that’s the context he philosophizes in.
I haven’t heard him ever denying climate change. At best he has just been questioning its severity of it. Even in this talk in question he says: “I’m not saying that it’s not happening. It may be happening. I’m happy to say that it may be happening. I may even be happy to say that it’s probably happening”

He’s pretending that this will just go smoothly with the help of the free market.
Are we watching the same video? At what point is he implying that?
