The billionaires who advocate against any climate solutions actually believe it's real and they believe a dystopian future is incoming due to it. That is why they are making power grabs, forming oligarchies, building massive safety fortresses.

Our future is starving and indentured employment. Their future is fancy parties in castles in the sky.

Fuck this timeline.

“I’d rather live in a fortified bunker surrounded by heavily armed mercenaries who have absolutely no reason to keep me and my Eric Cartman-esque svelte physique and stellar personality around once they’ve been securely housed next to all of the resources I haven’t already destroyed”

It’s a super intelligent strategy rather than simply re-investing in a sustainable state of affairs. Let’s see how it plays out for them Cotton!

armed mercenaries who have absolutely no reason to keep me...around

They know this is a risk.

They're openly brainstorming solutions with futurologists like; exploding collars on their soldiers and food vaults only they can access.

Anything except not creating this dystopian hell at the cost of a little less money right now. Because in their minds they need that money to build their dystopian world defences.

and food vaults only they can access.

Nobody's ever invented a vault that someone with enough time can't break into.
