I've wondered about this. The people pushing oil, coal, gas etc either have convinced themselves it's harmless( any idiot knows the truth) or their psychotic.

Look at the Kochs, they could never spend all that money even if they stopped everything now.
What a help it would be to this earth if the rich would spend money on saving it instead.
Greed sucks!
