Thank you for posting this - I may have to add that to my reading list.
One thing that's been in the back of my mind for a few years now, was basically this. I think we're seeing the wealthiest going full-mask-off-kleptocracy in an effort to hoard wealth only to leave (somehow) when the physical and metaphorical heat gets to be too much. A true rich-man's response to climate change. But I struggled to square the concept of building wealth that is ultimately based on the current economy, with how that could possibly be useful in a worst-case scenario. Now I can see that there really is a disconnect in the minds of these people, as though the medium to long-term isn't a consideration.
