The rich don't think this will affect them, so they have no incentive to change. They think it will kill off a few million more inconveniently poor people and that'll be an end to it. They have no concept that their millions can't save them. They need 'lower-caste' workers to collect their food, transport it to them and cook it.

While the crooks of the world have always been able to motivate their minions with money, when the money doesn't work, they are all toast.
