Loading ...Tiny Fraction Of Global Elites Emit As Much Carbon As Bottom Two-Thirds Of Humanity
Critics who rail against the hypocrisy of wealthy global elites jet-setting on carbon-spewing private planes while pontificating about the need for the rest of us to cut our climate footprints just got a boost from a new study.
It turns out that the world’s richest 1 percent emit about the same amount of carbon as the world’s poorest two-thirds, according to an analysis from the nonprofit Oxfam International.
This means that a small sliver of global elites, or 77 million people, have produced as much carbon as the 5 billion people that make up the bottom 66 percent by wealth, per the study.
The study also estimates that it would take roughly 1,500 years for someone in the bottom 99 percent to produce as much carbon as the wealthiest billionaires do in just one year.
AND
Attention to this kind of analysis also VALIDATES the argument many in the ESG camp make that carbon should even be a concern.
In my opinion, that isn’t even warranted.
The 1% know it too. Including that cockroach John Kerry, puppet of Davos.
They despise we, the common people, and we despise them. And they know we despise them.
