I think my real issue here is how I think it's going to end. I don't really believe that one day all the rich people will suddenly regret being rich because they realize them being rich caused oceans to boil and everyone to die. There's not a current 20 year old billionaire who will be killed by a mob of poor climate refugees in a mad max wasteland. That's the fantasy, and the desire of people like us. We want that catharsis and day of penance but it's about 90% sure not going to happen.
It's not so much a statement that the wealthy can be protected by their own delusions (ie climate bunkers), just that I don't like this secular version of Rapture.
