see profit in millions of people living on the coasts around the world having to move? They love creative destruction. Think of the real estate and construction $$$ to be made. On top of making money on the oil and gas that comes from the ground. None of that free stuff like wind, solar or good information for the public. Fat budgets to rebuild infrastructure only when automation has fully destroyed unions will be a windfall. It will be like the change of footing that took place in WW2 only with a profit motive instead of a military one. And more people will die.

1. For sure

That's one of the many reasons. Along with coal, gas, oil, minerals, metals - they think looting the planet is fine as long as someone is making money out of it.

When the last grasping capitalist hauls their raggedy body to the top of a heap of their dying fellow humans, he or she can say, "I made it."

5. For many it's about the rapture

They believe in humans' dominion of earth and the end times.

They also think they have enough money to survive and then all the dregs will be eliminated.
