They plan to buy bunkers and staff (I really do not mean hire staff, I do mean buy - they are debating how to control their staff once the economy collapses, and have floated the idea of bomb collars) to ride out the apocalypse they are actively causing.

It’s all very backward thinking. They can’t even envision not ruining the planet, they are planning for it as an inevitability.
