Most of them probably think they will have died by the time the effects of climate change are great enough to bother them, or that their money will be enough to insulate themselves from it. There’s already plenty of Silicon Valley types fantasising about luxury doomsday bunkers.

I think there’s a significant amount of hopelessness and futility in the corridors of power also. It is an enormous task to get the entire world to take coordinated and far reaching action on anything, and some don’t think it’s possible.
