I legit don't get stuff like this. Don't these mfs have kids? Don't their kids live on this same planet? Why do you want to make sure your kids get to choke on toxic dust?

Louis Anthony “Tony” Cox Jr, a Denver-based risk analyst and former Trump adviser who once reportedly claimed there is no proof that cleaning air saves lives, is developing an AI application to scan academic research for what he sees as the false conflation of correlation with causation.
Cox has described the project as an attempt to weed “propaganda” out of epidemiological research and perform “critical thinking at scale” in emails to industry researchers, which were obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests by the Energy and Policy Institute, a non-profit advocacy group, and exclusively reviewed by the Guardian.

you should really get rid of the assumption that the 1% have to deal with any of the problems they force on everyone else. rich people have their own separate existence. they live in rich-people-only neighborhoods. they park in rich-people-only parking lots. they go on vacation in rich-people-only parts of the world. their kids go to rich-people-only schools.
in effect, no, they do not live on the same planet. they live on rich-people-only planet, and one of their core purposes in life is to keep themselves there, while keeping everyone else out.

I feel like that would be, and already is to some extent, both temporary and relative. Windblown microplastics don't really care if they end up in affluent areas.

I mean, they might live a whole other cultural and social experience, but right now the world's ultra-wealthy are already planning on living out the rest of their years in underground bunker complexes. I really don't see how that's a better existence for them and their kids than making 3% less profit and giving just the tiniest shit about the planet.
