Their jobs are going away regardless. Whether it's now or 10 years from now the difference being that 10 years from now it's going to be too late to do anything to stop climate change from utterly wrecking everybody's life. Quite frankly in a lot of circles it's considered that we are already 20 years out of date for doing anything to mitigate millions of deaths due to climate change.

And that they'll get to keep their livelihood for 10 more years. It's easy to see why they'd go for that option over fighting climate change with their personal job loss.
