We can either have a liveable planet, or billionaires. We can't have both.
The findings of a new report from oxfaminternational latest report are honestly terrifying and infuriating. 😡
Here’s what should stop us all in our tracks:
• The emissions of the richest 1% in a single year will cause an estimated 1.3 MILLION heat-related deaths.
• A person in the richest 0.1% emits more carbon in one day than the poorest 50% do in an ENTIRE YEAR.
• To stay within the 1.5°C limit, the richest 1% need to cut their emissions by 97% by 2030.
Meanwhile, those who did the least to cause the climate crisis are paying the highest price with their lives, their livelihoods, and their futures.
This is not accidental. It is the result of an economic system that protects extreme wealth, fuels corporate pollution, and puts profits before people.
It’s time to FLIP THE SCRIPT. Tax extreme wealth. Make polluters pay. Ban private jets and superyachts. Put lives before profits.
