Well, for me, my co-workers are not jackasses so it probably makes it easier.
Also, I don't think I would keep working forever. Probably just a year or so, then I would just become a full time academic.
Edit: As WhiteTiger said, it would probably be a volunteer thing, which is really easy because the place I work for is non-profit and does really good work. I certainly wouldn't expect Joe Blow Geoengineer to keep plugging away at his downtown oil company, because in his case, i wouldn't be doing that either.
