          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?
