On the one hand, we have the biggest crisis to ever face humanity, where all of our lives literally hang in the balance and daily we're seeing the effects from wildfires to cold blasts.

No, but I have ways to survive all this. Even climate change will only lead to some billion deaths at worst. One in seven chance? Not a big deal for me. I'll take it.
I thought this was a joke, but you sounded like someone I know, so I went digging through your history. And sure enough... I particularly liked this bit: "In fact, people quite like me." Hah. It's a small World, Rene. Remember that. Not just because of the bullshit you attach to your name online, but also the bubble you think you can maintain around you in real life.
Generally this attitude, if actually held, would be described as psychopathic.
And if you think that your quality of life would be the same, even if you survive, then you are blind to the violence that must surely come when the world goes to hell.
When that many people die from starvation and dislocation, you better believe that the pitchforks will come out, and no one will give a damn if you are a BTC lord, you'll be left in a latrine by roving mobs who out-number you 100000 to 1.
We'll see. I care enough that I'm carbon negative. Most people also take the same trade as me. In truth, they do worse things: they actively kill our future by being carbon positive.
The difference is that when I kill our next generation I don't pretend I care. It is no surprise that makes the rest of you carbon positive people uncomfortable.
What you hide from yourself so that you can claim to be pure, I don't.
I know that if the billion could die you will kill them. Because you're doing it now. So the 1 in 7 happens anyway. So I do enough to ease my conscience and then make my peace with my role in the coming violence. 14% likelihood of death? I've beaten worse.
