Wanted: Climate-change Denier with a Lot of Money

From National Geographic's article "Rising Seas":
In a state exposed to hurricanes as well as rising seas, people like John Van Leer, an oceanographer at the University of Miami, worry that one day they will no longer be able to insure—or sell—their houses. “If buyers can’t insure it, they can’t get a mortgage on it. And if they can’t get a mortgage, you can only sell to cash buyers,” Van Leer says. “What I’m looking for is a climate-change denier with a lot of money.”
There should be opportunities for climate scoffers to clean up on cheap real estate, if they have the courage of their convictions.
