But a handful of billionaires got even richer so it was all worth it.

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?

Or do they not care if we all have to eat insects and nutrient paste in underground bunkers as long as they get more than everyone else?

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, ...

You’ve never seen another human refuse to address a problem affecting them (and others) because the solution could affect their current levels of comfort and habit?

No, we don't care if you have to eat insects and nutrient paste
