Right now we have finally gotten to the point where people are willing/able to say things like this in public, without fear of being shot down.
But, similar to the Maginot Line being built, if the pressure is taken off, for whatever reason, there will be failures that get a lot of people killed.
In the case of the Maginot Line, France completed its bits, and it was impregnable. But construction was halted in the north for political and financial reasons. We all know what happened then.
In a few years it could be that the trend is noticed - that the earth has entered a cold spell. It will appear to neutralize the warming trend and take off the pressure. It is predicted to only last for a decade.
If pressure is allowed to fail on transportation and energy infrastructure, the history books will say ""We all know what happened then." Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

That's assuming there will be any history books.
I would bet on it of course -because if there are none (which I fear is highly possible), it will mean there will be no way to collect the money. But that's not exactly a rousing endorsement of the likelihood of it. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
