Based on evidence of their inaction, what we are seeing from the rich and their satraps in Wall Street-on-the-Potomac is the intentional setting the stage for environmental collapse. Perhaps it's better from their POV for the planet to endure a few centuries' wacky weather than even a non-nuclear WWIII. You know who'll survive, the same people what's got the money, the ideological descendants of the Dulles Brothers, Nixon, Kissinger and Rove.

Whatever happened to that New New Deal for the 21st Century they were talking about, before the Banksters looted the trillions? If those trillions We the Taxpayers signed the IOUs for had gone, instead, to R&D, we'd be half way to remaking the planet the paradise it could be.
