    Most of the billionaires of today won’t reach the bunker stage, they will be dead before the surface becomes uninhabitable. Global warming will hit poor countries the hardest first but richer countries will be able to mitigate the effects for longer. The US will be able to mitigate the effects of global warming for much longer than say Afghanistan.

      There’s already floods, heatwaves and tornadoes. Sure there’s much less death and destruction on a bigger scale, but their immediate surroundings won’t stay constantly enjoyable much longer. I happen to live in a place that’s too cold to comfortably enjoy the outdoors for most of the year - and full of mosquitoes for the remainder. Trust me, it takes a toll on your mental health really fast. I don’t think they realise that.

        Right but billionaires have enough money that they can relocate to places that don’t have those issues. Their wealth insulates them from the consequences.
