How Will the Rich Rule Without Money?

[georgephillip]

How will the richest among us protect themselves and their property if (when?) catastrophic climate chaos makes money worthless?

MR Online | How the rich plan to rule a burning planet

"Writing in the Guardian in 2018, media theorist and futurist Douglas Rushkoff related his experience of being paid half his annual salary to speak at 'a super-deluxe private resort … on the subject of "the future of technology’”. He was expecting a room full of investment bankers. When he arrived, however, he was introduced to 'five super-wealthy guys … from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world'. Rushkoff wrote:

"'After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology.

"They had come with questions of their own … Which region will be less affected by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? … Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked: "How do I maintain authority over my security force after the Event?"

"The Event.

"That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr Robot hack that takes everything down … They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs.

"But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless?

"What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader?

"The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew.

"Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for survival."

If your plan calls for allowing the world to drown in the swamp of mass death and destruction while you cower in a South Pacific bunker protected by hired killers wearing exploding collars, you are not likely to win much in the way of public support for the capitalist state economics that are creating the next mass extinction, are you?

The climate chaos thats threatens us is not physical

its political and will be caused by global warming doomsday hoax wackos

Climate change is boring. Climate zealots have to rebrand with climate chaos or climate collapse.
Alarmists Propose Rebranding ‘Climate Change’ for Greater Shock Value

So?

Supposing that there is a relationship between CO2 and the weather, and its man made, how does socialism cure it?

We had 8 full years of Obama and 8 full years of Clinton, and its made no change whatsoever.

When I look into the global warming argument, it seems most all scientists agree it's mainly caused by humans. It seems that a line is drawn between right wing and left wing whether this is true or not. May be best to opt on the side of safety and go with the scientists since the average guy knows diddley squat about science and too many politicians will take the side of the oil billionaires who support them. Time for public financed elections and make bribing politicians a crime like back in the day?

"What the science says...
Select a level... Basic

Intermediate Advanced
"That humans are causing global warming is the position of the Academies of Science from 80 countries plus many scientific organizations that study climate science.

"More specifically, around 95% of active climate researchers actively publishing climate papers endorse the consensus position."

It would seem a prudent course of action to hope for the best and plan for the worst, but I suspect there isn't enough short-term profit in that model?

We tried it their way, GP.

8 years of fighting climate change under Obama who promised to roll it back in his 2009 inaugural speech and 8 years under Clinton and Gore.

Didn't work.


If it is still a problem, we need a different solution, liberalism didn't do anything.

"Catastrophic climate crisis"? Is that what the crazy left is wishing for these days? How are (rich) left wing propaganda sources going to survive when they can't use ordinary climate change as a political tool?

Why do you suppose a majority of scientists who study the issue believe otherwise?

https://skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus-intermediate.htm

"Consensus on Consensus - Cook et al. (2016)

"Authors of seven climate consensus studies — including Naomi Oreskes, Peter Doran, William Anderegg, Bart Verheggen, Ed Maibach, J. Stuart Carlton, and John Cook — co-authored a paper that should settle the expert climate consensus question once and for all.

"The two key conclusions from the paper are:

"1) Depending on exactly how you measure the expert consensus, it’s somewhere between 90% and 100% that agree humans are responsible for climate change, with most of our studies finding 97% consensus among publishing climate scientists.

"2) The greater the climate expertise among those surveyed, the higher the consensus on human-caused global warming."

"This crisis is escalating at a terrifying rate. Every year, new temperature records are set.

"Every day, new disasters are reported. In Australia, we’re living through a summer of dust and fire.

"Hot winds from the desert are sweeping up dirt from the parched landscape and covering towns and cities hundreds and thousands of kilometres away. Creeks and riverbeds are being baked dry.

"Our cities are shrouded in smoke from fires burning for weeks on end, while on the hottest and windiest days the flames grow, devouring everything in their path."

Australia fires? You mean the ones caused by green fascist policies that keep them from managing their forests......the way they fail to manage forests in California? They also have an arsonist problem in Australia......that is the cause, not global warming....

They could also use "Smokey the Bear," to teach them fire prevention...

Why do people start bushfires during bushfires?

How many fires are started deliberately?
Two of the most recent studies say there are between 52,000 and 54,000 bushfires in Australia every year.

Dr Paul Read, co-director of Australia's National Centre for Research in Bushfire and Arson, puts the figure higher, at "62,000 and increasing".

Of those, 13% are started deliberately, and 37% are suspicious. That means 31,000 Australian bushfires are either arson, or suspected arson, every year.

That figure does not include recklessness or accidents. So a bushfire caused by a barbecue, or a spark from a chainsaw, would be classed as "accidental".

In short, up to 85 bushfires begin every day because someone leaves their house and decides to start one.

Do they get more money for studies if we're doomed, or if we're okay?

Oh no!!!!

Out of reach?

That's a shame.

Like every country involved in the Paris climate accord, America has pledged specific reductions in its carbon emissions. In addition to its existing goal — 17 percent reductions from 2005 levels by 2020 — the US also pledged to reach 26 to 28 percent reductions by 2025.

The US didn't pledge anything.
That was Obama, acting on his own.

Reality TV gets some of the credit I suppose?

Opinion | The Climate Crisis in Terms Trump Can Understand

"Let us put it in language Mr. Trump might understand.

"If average global temperatures rise by the end of the century by another one degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, there will be no winners on this planet.

"Only losers.

"And those immigrants the president rails against?

"Expect the trickle to become a flood.

"Climate change could force 1.4 million people to abandon their homes in Mexico and Central America, according to the World Bank.

"That is because one-third of all jobs in the region remain linked to agriculture and climate change is making those livelihoods more precarious."

If your plan calls for allowing the world to drown in the swamp of mass death and destruction while you cower in a South Pacific bunker protected by hired killers wearing exploding collars, you are not likely to win much in the way of public support for the capitalist state economics that are creating the next mass extinction, are you?

To protect ourselves from the next capitalist mass extinction in the future.....we must initiate a socialist mass extinction.....TODAY!!!

Don't you have some Trump University-certified carbon credits to peddle to the homeless?

How Trump policy will affect US carbon emissions, in one graph

Had to give you a "winner" for acknowledging Trump isnt vhf playing the game

I was around in the mid 1980s when this loser first began babbling about becoming POTUS

Reality TV gets some of the credit I suppose?

Opinion | The Climate Crisis in Terms Trump Can Understand

"Let us put it in language Mr. Trump might understand.

"If average global temperatures rise by the end of the century by another one degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, there will be no winners on this planet.

"Only losers.

"And those immigrants the president rails against?

"Expect the trickle to become a flood.

"Climate change could force 1.4 million people to abandon their homes in Mexico and Central America, according to the World Bank.

"That is because one-third of all jobs in the region remain linked to agriculture and climate change is making those livelihoods more precarious."

"If average global temperatures rise by the end of the century by another one degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, there will be no winners on this planet.

Liar.

You're right, we need a wall. We need to deport 20 million illegal aliens.
They release much more CO2 here, than they did back home.

They're DESTROYING the planet. Give them to boot. For Gaia!!!​

Wonder if they are planning something?

They already know what's coming

The financial system is a giant pyramid scheme

How everyone else doesn't see it is beyond me

Climate change is boring. Climate zealots have to rebrand with climate chaos or climate collapse.
Alarmists Propose Rebranding ‘Climate Change’ for Greater Shock Value

Evidence | Facts – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

"Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.

So?

Supposing that there is a relationship between CO2 and the weather, and its man made, how does socialism cure it?

We had 8 full years of Obama and 8 full years of Clinton, and its made no change whatsoever.

Both Clinton and Obama are New Democrats operating fully in the corporate sphere. Corporations internalize all possible gains from the community and externalize all possible costs onto the community in order to maximize shareholder (parasite) value. For most of human history we lived as hunter-gatherers in primitive socialist economies. People controlled the means of production. "From each according to her ability to each according to her needs" is the NATURAL state of humanity. It has only been in the last 12,000 years that the curse of class-based economic systems has come into existence. Neither Bill nor Barry has the slightest intention of change that.
