says we’re concentrating on the wrong thing. We should, researchers say, be looking instead at the most pollutiveThe report, from the World Inequality Lab — which is run by the Paris School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley — explains some pretty harsh facts:The top
While the authors are keeping their estimations on the conservative side, they point to easily seen pollutive activities of the ultra-rich, such as space flight. An 11-minute flight “emits no fewer than 75 tons of carbon per passenger once indirect emissions are taken into account ,” the authors write. Opposingly, about one billion individuals emit less than one ton per person per year. Over their lifetime, these one billion people emit no more than 75 tons of carbon per person.
“It therefore takes a few minutes in space travel to emit at least as much carbon as an individual from the bottom billion will emit in her entire lifetime.”that as much as 40 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions comes from agriculture, deforestation, and changes in the way land is used. Cattle release a tremendous amount of methane, and clearing land for pastures destroys trees that would otherwise absorb carbon.
Along the Jeff-Bezos-goes-to-space lines, billionaires are also destroying the planet with their superyachts, which are
Hmm! A possible solution! I think the patriarchy is the most pollutive systemic issue!
How about we think globally for a global problem and look at the most pollutive industries?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Terrible!
