Who cares.
Oil money go brrrrrrrr

The irony is that if the weather goes to shit then how do these rich assholes think people will be able to drive around. Everything will be destroyed by climate change. No roads, no destinations to go to.
They don't give a shit. All they think about is making money right now. They'll sell their own mother if it means making an extra buck.
That's how these people think.
Exactly. And our society is structured in a way that promotes those types of people straight to the top of all decision making, in business and government.
Someone who makes altruistic decisions, well, their business would fail day one as they wouldn't be able to compete. And in gov't they simply wouldn't get any votes.
There are outliers of course, just not enough to have a big enough impact.
