Luigi has done his part. Let’s hope the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom are ready and armed.
The operative word in this headline is “fair”. The ultrarich use their share of everything for a few days - or hours, or minutes - then switch to using everybody else’s the rest of the year.
they don’t know what fair share even means
I get the impression billionaires are a big reason we aren’t addressing climate change. Sad that the Children of Kali are our best hope.
What, the richest 1% only use 36.5x more carbon than average? I would have expected more. But I guess top 1% globally isn’t too rare in the US, about a net worth of $870k. That puts about 20% of Americans in the top 1%.
That’s a great point. The 1% vs 99% discourse was introduced during the great recession, and while it’s a nice quick shorthand, the literal figure of 1% really does spread out the blame more than it should. It’s actually a much smaller percentage of people who are sucking up so many resources and who are the biggest cause of misery on Earth. That just makes the fact that we’re forced to cater to them even more striking.
Carbon credits are horseshit.
I am so, so glad that I have not brought any children into this world. The human race will not learn until it’s too late, and probably not even then.
