Oh please! I'd love to see Big Oil shrivel and die just like our societies and very planet have under their influence.

I mean they absolutely will when civilization collapses due to climate collapse and accompanying weather events, famine, droughts, and plagues.

I take solace in knowing that they can build all the luxury bunkers they want, but they will one day come to realize they are their tombs, protecting them from the world and species they damned, including for any of their muh legacy nepo babies huddled underground with them, for a couple million years.

Concrete is effective at sealing shut bunker doors, and air ventilation systems, as is caulk

Yeah, but humans are not very effective at organising humans to act in their best interests in a coordinated and logical manner. I feel that this will be even more of a challenge post-collapse. Some bunkers may get caulked. Most will get left alone.
