His idea is : As long as i and my rich friends live comfortably, fuck the next generation.
His children and the rich children will be more rich coz the disasters anyway!
It's likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents--and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.
What's so hard to understand about this? There is a very popular meme that explains this person's perspective, it has a dog having a cup of coffee in a burning room saying "this is fine"
Reminder that the comic ends with the dog stressfully trying to put out the fire while whining that there was no reason to let it go that far.
Some of us think human extinction would ultimately be for the best, even for humans. There is no civilized future; it's exploitation, violence and horror all the way to the end. The faster the end comes the less of all that there will be. Humanity is not suited for interstellar permanence, we are defective.
To live is to suffer. Study. You're almost there. The defect is intentional. Consoling the defect is enlightenment.

You need like a $50-200K per year kickback from the fossil fuel industry and loose morals to get it
GOP is consistently contradictory. So are most dictators and their parties. This fits.
"Fuck you, got mine" summarizes it all. Burning planet isn't his problem if he can get a little more as it burns.
Black Republican too. They'll throw him into the void like they did Herman Cain.
