They're planning on most of us being dead one way or the other. The Planetary Solvency report predicts about half of humanity dead at +3C warming, which is basically guaranteed now before the end of the century, and likely way sooner than that. So the billionaire tech bros and fascists, instead of trying to mitigate the now unavoidable climate hell, are trying to extract all the talent and wealth they can from the rest of us before we all starve to death.

They’re trying to replace the labor of the half of humanity that’s gonna die.
