"You'd have to be truly indifferent to the state of the earth to support these moves."

No, you just have to very, very rich.

If you're very rich, the state of the earth will be--for all intents and purposes--irrelevant to your life. You'll never be thirsty. You'll never suffer hunger. Your children won't die because of climate driven political conflict.

Why would the rich care? All they care about is money, and making more of it. Minority-elect President Trump is their ideal president.
