This  approach always floors me.  You could use some of that money to improve the problem (through research , political donations, NGOs), which would help everyone. Or you can squirrel away money so just your family is immunized against the perils threatening the rest of society.

Not PP you replied to, but the immense majority of people pass on most of what they have to their family. When you see millions in bequeaths directed to charitable organizations, they are usually either a fragment of the family wealth, or from someone who doesn't have close relatives.

Stop deluding yourself.

But this person seemed motivated by the threat of climate change.

He is deluding himself that that problem can be solved for individuals living on the same planet as the majority suffering its consequences.[/quote]

It cannot be solved. That is the point. The best we can do it try to mitigate the damage. Money will really help with that. [/quote]
