That might be their outlook on "local" pollution for a while, but you don't think going from 20 years left to centuries to live might affect their opinions on global climate change?

Not really. Many of them are already heavily invested in life extension tech (not that I think it will work, but it means they're optimistic). I think their general worldview is that technology will fix it, at least for them.

Yeah, I'm probably being too optimistic.
