    That’s true, but there are also many wealthy (aka greedy) people who figure, because they can afford to live anywhere, that the problems won’t affect them personally. Or, even if they recognize the problems will be inescapable, there’s the rush to just grab a little more before the everything comes unglued.

      That’s not so much a theory as much as it’s an explicit strategy that isn’t even being hidden. Look up the apocalypse plans from the tech bro billionaires. They don’t care about trying to stop it, they’re just trying to make as much money as possible so they’ll be in a better position, and they don’t care if they accelerate it while they do it.
