Sure, it will be a few years until the waves lap against the shore at your feet, but your grand kids will be glad you thought of them.

Or go to North Carolina where they passed a law that wont let Climate Change happen

They will continue to deny reality until the water covers their heads.
After that, no problem.

Keep gunning your SUV at every stoplight. Keep flying around the planet. Keep investing in Wall St. Keep shopping for all the useless crap you can afford. Make it your life goal to put as much pollution into the atmosphere you can. Wouldn't want people to think you weren't doing your fair share of wiping species out of existence and ensuring a hellish existence for those that have to live in your mess. All the cool kids are doing it!
