Putting on my tinfoil hat for a moment, imagine the wealthy elite learned of an impending global disaster that would lead to the collapse of civilization that was set to occur in less than 20 years. How might they react? Would they start hoarding wealth and resources at an unprecedented level? Maybe start entirely disregarding laws, trade agreements, and climate goals, because what’s the point? Start building massive bunkers, complexes, or giant yachts they can comfortably spend the rest of their lives in? How about desperately starting space companies with ambitious goals to colonize other planets like Mars in extremely short time scales; before quietly scaling back when those goals prove impossible to meet in time?

Any of these actions sound familiar?
Definitely tin foil hatish. Just build the bunker and you good. Most of these fucks will be long dead.
