The #oligarchs and #politicalparties advocating for MORE #oildrilling, for MORE use of #fossilfuels are operating from a simple premise:

Once the ocean currents, seas, forests are #beyondsalvage - once countless animal, insect, and plant species are #beyondrecovery - they assume we won't care anymore and they will be able to squeeze out the last few billions of $$ to be made on despoiling the world.

(They're already starting to say "It's too late; we should give up.")
