Yeah ... This how humanity is going to out. Instead of rallying together to save ourselves from a changing environment, wealthy corporate interests will just manipulate everything to get conservative right wing nut jobs in power to avoid having to do anything about changing global behavior.
We're going to sacrifice our future existence to protect the wealth of a few hundred people, who will all last just a little bit longer before all of humanity fizzles out.
This is our great filter ... Human greed ... and it looks like we won't be able to get past it.
