I’m pretty sure they would. It’s not like they’d like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.

Well, it’s becoming a genuine concern because of the advances of medicine and the growing understanding of the aging process. Imagine a guy like Musk living for a 100 or 200 years, imagine the accumulation of wealth.
I don’t know. I kindof suspect that:
- The billionaires may somewhat believe their own propaganda and maybe the climate chang denying billionaires may outnumber the ones who are more in touch with reality.
- The machines that capitalism has built to maintain and intensify wealth concentration may well have escaped the control of their creators. Corporations have wills of their own distinct from that of the people nominally “in charge” like the C-level leaders and board and shareholders.
- Climate change itself may have already passed a point of no return or if it hasn’t, it likely will before even the most powerful manage to redirect the momentum of the system in a different direction.
You wish.
If I were a sociopathic billionaire I would love some degree of global warming. The more you make part of the world unliveable, the more I can charge people for living conditions.
I can create bio domes that have clean cool air and charge people to live in there. I’ve now successfully monetized clean air.
