Western nations are far too focused on quarterly economic growth - ironically, growth that is increasingly decoupled from any standard of living measures domestically - than they are with the long term ecological sustainability.
This is double-edged, as its accelerating our development and deployment of green fuel alternatives and battery technologies. But it is also accelerating our consumption of existing fossil fuel reserves and our production of waste product across nearly every conceivable economic sector.
Even setting aside the looming climate catastrophe, we’ve got a problem of trash production that we seem content to resolve by shuttling off mountains of refuse to impoverished island nations and Pacific garbage patches. The need to dig shit up and turn it into disposable crap so we can collect a vig on labor and repeat the process exceeds any sane plan of what we’d do with our monumental excess.
Absolutely making cuts or risky changes in your life would be much easier to stomach if your job allows you to live carefree.

The disaster is definitely going to be the thing that happens, because we have failed to act sufficiently for 50 years. There is no interest in most countries to do what is necessary at this point. Disaster is coming and sooner because climate change is accelerating every year.

Their bunkers already have air and water filtration systems.
Not sure how long their generators and food will last, though.
The travesty here is that those who are least culpable will suffer the most.
