What makes climate stories like this unsettling is how uncinematic they are. No single dramatic moment, just entire communities slowly realizing the map they grew up with is literally disappearing.
This is the big problem with climate change and the current slow burn collapse its causing is its so slow. The number of disaster events increases, their severity edges up year by year but because its all small little increments over decades it never gets any response from the populace or governments. How did we heat our planet to +1.5C, a tiny little bit every year.
What are you talking about?!? This is the great master plan.
Survival is not economically viable
A seriously low number of the shocked citizenry know at least a third (according to other billionaires) of ultra wealthy individuals have been building Doomsday bunkers so they are theoretically immune to the immediate effects of climate disasters and the collapse of civilization
It’s a fascinating case study of hubris how they think having those bunkers will actually do them any good. Even if it all goes to plan and nobody retaliates (they will) what do they plan to do when it’s time for them to stay in there? Just slowly rot and lose their minds even further than they already have? They really are viruses, just mindlessly mutating over and over until they’re too lethal for the host to sustain them.
They think they’re gonna get in and wait for the poors to kill each other then come out and rebuild society in their image.
What I think will happen is people will try to get in and when that fails they will either seal them inside permanently or just dump some nasty chemicals down the air shafts.
Also they really think that when society breaks down the people with guns they hired are going to follow the billionaire’s orders when they could just be the ones in charge?
Yep, it’s just as likely their little for hire society and their own family will go crazy and start a fire inside or poison them inside their self made guilded cage.
Can’t wait to concrete the fuckers in.
Considering most people in these affected areas vote Conservative and reform and think climate change is a scam, it’s hard to have any sympathy
