Oh they care.
They see it as another profit opportunity to sell world governments a bunch of vaporware like
Corn Ethanol clean coalcarbon filters, yeah that's the ticket!Our modern capitalists are just the evolution and conquest of the snake oil con men of old. They don't care about the damage they do, they'll be long gone to
the next townto a luxury climate bunker compound, with their suckers in the rear view mirror.Impending catastrophe is just another profit vector to the capitalists.
@AllonzeeLV it's so insane that their current lives are so bad they think they would enjoy life in a luxury bunker.
Also, a lot of bunkers are in my part of the world and it makes me smile that they really think we would let them live in them if things really got bad.
I think wealth hoarding is a mental illness just like cat hoarding or newspaper hoarding.
It absolutely is, except worse, because it is antisocial hoarding, in that it hurts society, not just themselves.
And it isn't about quality of life for them. You effectively max that out in the tens of millions. These sociopaths are burning the world to beat eachother's capital/ego scores, not just in net worth, but in the intentionally wasteful, irrational flexes they purchase and commission, literally like making a mega yacht to tow their sailing mega yacht, or buying some multimillion dollar antique that belongs in a museum.
It's a high stakes game to them to one up one another, and the havoc it wreaks on the global climate and entire societies isn't even a consideration to them, as you must have significant net worth for them to consider you a human being worthy of any consideration to begin with. Without that you are disposable livestock, worthy of ridicule but not a second thought.

From whom do corporations get their money? From the consumers.
