but does it matter if in a couple centuries or so (by some estimates apparently) we are all flooded out when the ice caps melt completely?

the ice caps melting most people would argue is a direct result of our technological progress not because of a natural phenomenon

And Science is the only reason we know that's happening and that we should try and stop it. 

That would be logical, but if you really look to current trends neither Europe, China or the USA are really willing to prevent that. They just want to do enough so they can say look we did something. Every big economy already lacks behind the Paris Agreement. Neither are 90% of the people willing to pay for it or even have a windturbine within 10 miles of their home. Only scientists and environmentalist want to stop these trends and are willing to sacrifice income for it.
