Do you think Russia cares that the south western USA is going to experience drought conditions for the rest of this century? The southwest USA is already a desert once you move 5 miles off the coast so I'm not sure why the American public would care either.
Do you think the Russians care that the water level of the oceans might rise 8" over the next 80 years?
Perhaps developing nations care about building their infrastructure and improving the standard of living of their citizens and they will leave the concerns of the Malibu beachfront owners to others.
