I wonder if people would be more willing to believe how the fossil fuel industry doesn't care if the rest of us live if someone presented it as a conspiracy.

Learn Secrets you were never meant to know!

In the late 1950's a secret cabal of wealthy industrialists were told that the world was going to end...

And they did nothing but kept grabbing as much money as they could because they would rather you died then they become poor.

Oh.. yeah this isn't a conspiracy theory.

We've got court documents pretty much proving everything except for why they don't care, that's a guess.

@alienghic Timothy Snyder in a chapter in his 2024 book "On Freedom" addressed this. He coined the phrase "oligarchic escapes" for it, the #billionaires' fantasy that with enough money one can escape the #apocalypse through various means. #RationalWiki covers the concept on different pages, collected here:

@alienghic Perhaps they know something that we don't. I still suspect when weather starts threatening important people they might just roll some weather control device out of Area 51 and fix things with one press of a button.
