45. Yes

The politicians and oligarchs have made it clear they want nothing to do with
climate change prevention.

Perhaps they know how bad it is going to be and no amount of money will change that.

Or maybe they think they will be immune from all of it.
And let the peasants pay on the back end of the damage.

Years ago the cost and trouble to prevent climate change would have
been easier. But no one wanted to take the time or trouble to address it.

So here we are.

And we clearly see the mentality of the world autocrats.
Trump, the GOP, Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un.

They are perfectly willing to burn down as much of the world as it takes
to get what they want. The only thing that matters is power, control and wealth.

Destruction and death mean nothing to them.
In fact they enjoy it a great deal.
