I'm constantly surprised, that the wealthy would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.
PS : If you survive the oncoming disaster, do something about them if you find any of them alive.
