Are you asking which CEOs are the most cynical?
Yeah, sort of

At some point, defeatism is just realism, no matter the amout of hopium people try to sell to you.
Soil depletion, (micro)plastics in the water, biodiversity collapse, political instability, economical crisis, nuclear menace that is not a thing of the past anymore, sanitary crisis that will likely be worse than COVID, to name a few.
Actually, it's too late, because those in power are accelerating in the wrong direction and we are less and less able to prevent them to do so.
And even so, given the current state of the society, even the "best case scenario" will be enough to make it collapse.
Personally, the "renewable" energies aren't making me hopeful. Because they are absolutly not renewable, they can't be build without pollution because of the materials you need. And even so, climate change is not even the worst of our existential threats, there are many more, but strangely, people are only talking about climate.
I don't believe in the possibility of mass civil disobediance, especially in a context where most of people are either depolitized, either are voting massively for (wannabe) autocrats.
We shoudn't rely on carbon capture, the technology is still at an embryonary stage and will not be ready on time to have a significant impact. Nor on a nuclear winter, for obvious reasons.
Actually, level of warming that could directly wipe humanity is technically possible, even the hopium dealers among climate scientists admit that (notably Michael E. Mann). But even if it doesn't kill all of us directly, it will likely generate a domino effect for other existential threats.
Your statement is extremely naive, because when a politician establish a rule, you are legally forced to follow it, and believe me, the authorities don't care about the means to enforce the said rules if they don't want to follow them. Resistance to Trump will lead to increased repression, you should not forget he is a known authoritarian. If you want to risk your freedom -if not your physical integrity- to set yourself above the law, good for you, but don't incite people to do so.
I don't think healthy skepticism is forbidden here, so feel free to write your rebuttal.
What does mean "being SA’d"?
