the acidification that last caused a 96% marine extinction rate during the Great Die-Off event, and the land-based food chain has also been destroyed, what will they eat? Soylent Green requires that enough people survive to provide the raw material.

And who will serve them? Where and how will they acquire their luxury manufactured goods? How enjoyable will their luxury liner lives be without food, fresh water, servants, entertainment, or *stuff*, in a bleak and dying world?

Idiots. Remember in Philip Roth's Goodbye, Columbus, when the protagonist learns his rich girlfriend hasn't been taking her contraceptives because they "make her fat," he chastises her, "Are you so spoiled that you cannot even imagine that something terrible could happen to you?" I think the richies are like that. They sincerely believe that they are exempt from the terrible consequences that they are setting the rest of us up for.
