Problem is the people in power saying that first part know/think they won't have to face the consequences of climate change, as such they only care about the short-term gains.
Capitalism will only solve problems where there's a profit incentive, and there's very little incentive to solve climate change until it starts unavoidably harming profits... By which point it'll be too late.
There is also likely a shit ton of undiagnosed mental issues in the top 1%. I don't think it's safe to say that they're evil masterminds with a plan, they may just be actually stupid and insane.
Oh I wasn't implying most of these people have a plan, beyond simply believing they'll be able to buy their way out of the consequences or that they'll die before shit really hits the fan.
It's less evil and more just the worst combination of greed, narcissism, and stupidity.
