But a select few have so much money, they can ignore the consequenses for the duration of their lives. They don't care what happens after that anyway.

That’s why billionaires have houses and bunkers in places that are the last to be affected by climate change. They just need to survive long enough to die of old age while living comfortably.
That’s why we need to make sure that the billionaires starve to death and never come out
It is really funny that billionaires think they will be safe in their bunkers in a post apocalyptic world. Their security teams will be the first to turn on them.
It's unusual that you think that. Sycophants serve their masters until they die. When the Titanic sank, thousands of crew went down with the ship, even though it was arrogance and greed of the elite that sank it in the first place. American soldiers and their victims die all the time like pawns on a chess board so that the ruling class get whatever it is they want. Workers die in workplace accidents daily, justifying the danger they put themselves in when it's really just to create more wealth for a greed driven economy.
Climate change will not destroy the planet.
Climate change will make the planet uninhabitable for humans.
The planet will be here until the sun explodes, humanity will not. I wonder what will replace us.
Climate change will make the planet uninhabitable for humans.
No it won't and not a single credible study claim otherwise.
One group of people claims the entire thing is a hoax and another thinks it's going to make humans go extinct. Classic example of both being wrong.
Why is it that we can't just accept bad things as bad but we need to add color to everything and pretend it's even worse than it actually is. Spreading this kind of misinformation causes an immense amount of pointless anxiety in people.
I mean... obviously it won't make the whole planet inhabitable, but billions will die when 90% of the planet is inhabitable. The last of which might be wiped out when the world fights over access to those remaining 10%.
No, those are still completely made up numbers. The estimated number of excess deaths under the worst case scenario range from 7 to 15 million people annually by 2100.
Which scenario are you referring to? IPCC? Because one of the possibilities I've seen is that clouds will stop forming over land. Not to mention ocean acidification. That will kill far more.
Catastrophes don't need to kill everyone to still be considered catastrophic. D'uh. Remarkable insights.
The claim was that the planet would be uninhabitable not merely that catastrophes would happen. The person you replied to is entirely correct.
Nobody has claimed otherwise. Perhaps tone down the smuggery a bit and read what's actually being said.
When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.
The fuck type of showers are you people taking
The planet won't be destroyed though. Some areas will just become less habitable for humans. And that can be off-set with money (for example by paying for air conditioning). So your premise is faulty.
You're not considering larger problems like food supply, displaced peoples, and infrastructure damage. Those things will effect everyone. Sure, with money you can initially buy security, food, and comfort but only to an extent. There's a breaking point where money stops mattering anymore.
Air conditioning alone will not hold off the water from the coast metropolis, where something like 50% of the world population will have to relocate.
I think it's fair to equate inhabitable with destroyed from a human perspective, especially considering that your assertion that it won't be complete is itself not universally agreed upon.
Climate change isn't going to destroy the planet. The world has been a much warmer place in the (geological) past than it is projected to become, without triggering an apocalypse. There will still be large areas of land that support food production and a pleasant lifestyle, for those with the resources to aquire and hold that land.
Why do you think a few of the richest people on this planet are into making space craft?
