This time they are sending ALL of us to the ovens.

    They’ll just move to the most inhabitable, least affected, parts of earth. Perhaps New Zealand, Argentina or Scotland.

    They don’t need bunkers. This is what the billion dollar yachts, private planes and multiple homes in many jurisdictions are for.

    Anyway, I don’t think it’s fair to blame only the rich. We live in democracies with free speech and accessible information.

    I know a lot of anti-nuclear activists and those people are not rich, but are definitely more guilty of causing catastrophic climate change than the millionaires and billionaires.

    Every advanced country could have achieved the 5 tons per capita that France and Sweden achieved in 1990 by using nuclear energy. And that would have solved most of the climate change problem. The reason it is so bad now, is because we squandered the past 35 years and increased our emissions instead of reducing them.

      I’m not sure there will be any. I recall someone mentioning an issue with NZ (other than the kiwis re-appropriating bunkers) but I’ve forgotten it now. Argentina is suffering from drought and large wildfires, and is expected to see tropical diseases expanding their territory (already happening in many places). Scotland and the whole region is going to suffer from intensely cold weather due to the AMOC slowdown, but I expect this will result in chaotic hot/cold weather extremes because the Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI) will still be extraordinarily high.

      They will need bunkers when the oceans turn into giant vats of methane infused bouillabaisse.>
