I see it as self-sorting, with no need to ban them. Eventually, most of the world is either going to be climate migrants or impacted by climate migration or impacted by climate change in some other way, likely all three. Some of those impacted people might be really resentful about it. Some of those resentful people might see wealthy executives and oil companies as personally accountable. It probably won't take long for the wealthy to wise up and voluntarily give them up once it becomes clear what an acme bullseye they really are.
I don’t believe this, simply because the rich have also been busy buying and building mega secure doomsday bunkers.
I was going to sarcastically ask if they're going to move their yachts into their bunkers, but then realized I don't want to know the answer.
