CLIMATE DENIAL--Whats really going on?

Do the plutocrats, CARE about the short- and medium-range destruction of our atmosphere, oceans, and the living things (including us) which occupy this planet?
Or are they more like the amoral, robotically-greedy, corporations they own and run?
The answer SEEMS to be no, they could care less, at least not for the vast majority of us, who seem to be only "consumer units" necessary to bestow upon themselves the god-like powers untold riches make possible.
And IF they care not for the environment, how much do you think they're concerned about our societal structures, such as they are--political systems (including democracy), institutions, cultures, or anything else to do with human activity (except maybe their own)?
Does this mean they think the human race is doomed (except for themselves)? If so, are they planning for--if not DELIBERATELY bringing about--this destruction, self-fulfilling some Armageddon-like prophecy, wittingly or not?
Hey, I'm just asking, not making any wild claims...

Why do you think they are buying up New Zealand (or wherever) getaways, even building underground mega-bunkers, some more like mini-cities, inaccessible by any except themselves and their fellow plutocrats?
Facilities designed to be self-sustaining regardless of what's happening above ground?
Regardless of their preparations, the wealthy among us do not seem to have much faith in our long-term prospects! I'm not sure if this is a well-thought-out, plan, some plutocratic conspiracy to let the rest of us burn...
But it can't be ruled it, either.
So, are these captains of industry themselves victims of the corporate monsters they, and their predecessors, have created?
Do they HAVE to lie about the ecological disaster their transnational corporate system is bringing about?
Do they do so willingly, even enthusiastically, having acquired a fatalistic "eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die" mindset, victims of their own "success?"
Or have they hypnotized themselves into actually believing their own "
misinformation?"
No matter, the destruction, regardless of why, continues apace.

Too much of the religious believe climate change is a natural part of god's ultimate plan, and aren't concerned it'll interfere with their "2nd life". Numerous republican figures have made this claim. They're insane.

I agree, noisily!

I have no belief in any gods, not Zeus or any other of the thousand "one-true- gods". But a thinking person has to start wondering, why did all these calamities/punishments come at once? Yes the Black Plague and the Spanish Flew killed millions- but it did not destroy the Earth.Those bombs, those play-toys; not even Hitler could blow up the whole world. The most moronic vegetable that the US has ever seen just inhabited the White House. Global warming will kill this time period on Earth. This flew is not over. Greed has made billionaires into multibillionaires who rob from the poor, kill all private business- and chain us to their agenda. Where did this all come from, all at the same time? I am sure many more maladies can be named.

Ok. For their own personal prospects...

Maybe they figure the world will outlast them personally. But do they not care about their children? Or their descendents? Is it a religious question for them? Do they expect Geebus to come and end everything anyway?

Maybe they're just too selfish and dim to make a rational decision -- certainly they(we?) seem incapable of following through with one.😡

They are selfish; they are not dim.

Yes I noticed all the ocean front property on the market as it will soon be underwater in a week or so.

‘Tis redundant to say both “soon” and “in a week or so”.

The price doesn't go down tho does it
