No they wouldn't.

Every single plebeian on earth wants the polar bears to survive. But their own economic, day-to-day survival is first. These thoughts you have are only for those with the luxury of time.

It’s a generational thing. The younger generation has demonstrated they are way more likely to make personal sacrifices to save the planet (look at how they drive less, are vegan more often, and also they say this in surveys)
I'm sure if you break it out by whether they have any responsibilities or not, it would be different. Not generational. My generation was the same.
