When we recognize that those deserving a fair share must include the entire human population, and that this "wealth" comes at the expense of the natural world on which we all depend, then the inequity and absurdity (insanity?) becomes all the more glaring.

Such a rise would bring a high risk of major extinctions, threats to food supplies and the near-total collapse of the huge Greenland ice sheet.
