    you know…I’ve been saying this in passing for the last decade and I’m starting to believe it.

    the rich continue to rape the planet, spurning global warming on at an alarming rate. it’s almost like they don’t care about it–or rather they want it to happen.

    When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

    They don’t care about it getting worse. because global warming is their answer to every goal they have.

    Climate change will:

    • destabilize world governments
    • drastically reduce world population
    • displace millions, forcing them to migrate to safe zones
    • allow them to capitalize on an opportunity to become “gods”

    once half if not more of the planets population has died, the planet might start to regulate itself, though it will never be the same again.

    I believe they are trying to take over the world and enslave humanity for their own benefit. climate change is just one of the many attacks they are throwing at the world right now.

      It’s not that there don’t care as much as they don’t believe it will affect them personally. They believe they their wealth will protect them.

        I think plenty of them also think it’s far enough in the future that it won’t affect them (spoiler alert: it’s not)

      It’s the classic “we don’t care if the valley floods, we live on the hill” mentality. They think that if/when the world devolves into chaos that they’ll be safe because they’re well off.

        precisely, they want the valley to flood because the fields will be fertile and there will be less mouths to feed while they hold all the power.

          Except climate change is a flood that won’t go away for 10,000 years. There is no ‘after’ for the rich to benefit from.

      It was the government doing window guidance that caused their mess, how do you blame the people who made successful companies that gave Japan its first world living standard?

        I blame the people for ignoring their responsibility towards humanity. just because you achieved success does not mean you get to stifle the progress of the world.

        as the quote goes, “A rising tide lifts all ships.” when one person installs a levy and only allows their friends access, progress ends and the town(world) will die.

        success is not greed, and these people are greed.
