Yes, this is the Pinnacle of Corporate/profit Driven America.
They work with every big co, including Oil cos and manufacturers.
This is the assessment of "The Smartest Guys in the Room."
Not liberal academics, but greedy money guys who have to be right, Not political.

Cities generate about 80% of global GDP and are home to more than half of the world's population, a share that Goldman says, citing the United Nations, is projected to reach two-thirds by 2050. About 40% of the global population lives within 100 kilometers of a coast, it says, and 1 in 10 live in areas less than 10 meters above sea level.
Goldman highlighted 3 cities which would be subject to those storm surges and in the future could face harmful flooding - New York, Tokyo, and Lagos. Miami, Alexandria, Dhaka, and Shanghai face major flood risks due to being less than 11 meters above sea level.

Natural ecosystems would be damaged, and risks to human health would rise, as well as pressures on food and drinking water.

- A Goldman Sachs report on the impact of climate change on cities across the world makes for grim reading.
- Rising temperatures would lead to changing disease patterns, more intense and longer-lasting heatwaves, more destructive weather events, and pressure on the availability and quality of water for drinking and agriculture.
- Major cities were also highlighted at risk of flooding with parts of New York, Tokyo, and Lagos all at risk of being partially submerged.
