I understood what you meant. When I wrote "the eleventh hour is actually too late" I was thinking of climate change, which is such a big problem that the super-rich will not be able to run away from it. Too many of them feel that they will be able to buy or steal their way out of the danger, and therefore aren't putting any effort into stopping it.

Putin thinks Russia is far enough north that it won't be much hurt by climate change, but he's wrong. The temperature in Russia may remain bearable, but climate change will mess up their rainfall, so their agriculture is going to become radically less productive. If climate change gets bad enough, the oceans could run out of oxygen and begin producing hydrogen sulfide, a very poisonous gas. That would assure the extinction of over 90% of all animals on earth, and many plants also.

I probably should have had quotes around “eleventh hour”. I actually think these greedy bastards are playing a long game of poker with many dangerous elements of society, so they can bilk all they can and slide out just in time to the next con. I think their arrogance(if I’m correct of course) is going to destroy us all sooner than later.
