        This seriously blows my mind too though, I just can’t get my head around it. Did they all just forget that they live on the planet too? Do they not have activities and things they enjoy that depend at least somewhat on a functional ecosystem and life sustaining planet?

          I think that they believe, because of the money they have, that they can find ways to mitigate a lot of the effects of climate change.

          Aircondition, all sorts of high end isolation, the ability to afford fresh food and water that’s becoming too expensive for us normies, being able to just move to whatever place on the planet that is still nice to live, …
