Currently, the things driving climate change are extremely profitable. Oil companies make billions if not trillions of dollars per year in profit. And some companies have even made climate change itself profitable by selling things like carbon offsets (which are just tickets to keep polluting) and does nothing to actually address the problem.We're not going to see any meaningful push for climate mitigation until climate change starts hurting wealthy people in their wallets.The problem is, by the time these investment properties start getting swallowed up by the sea the ball is already rolling too fast to do anything about it.When the rich start panicking about climate change we know we're fucked.

Catholicism, people still give a percentage of their paychecks to an autocrat of a foreign city state so he can tell them what God wants. You'd figure after 1,400 years people would figure out they were getting scammed.That's not too say protestant churches aren't guilty of the same things, they just haven't been at it as long.
