The rich bear BY FAR the most responsibility for climate change - the richest 10 percent of people produce half of the planet’s individual-consumption-based fossil fuel emissions.
And most importantly, it is the super rich who have corrupted the system so that $trillions of tax revenue has been spent on militarism etc, rather than on investment in green technology/infrastructure.
Meanwhile, it is the poorest who are most impacted by the climate/environmental devastation.
And now, the rich, having caused all the devastation, tend to blame it all on overpopulation (nonsense!), and (supposedly) want to tackle the issue by making the poor pay the most for it.
It all seems rather messed up to me.
Just imagine the world we could have had by now if we had a sane system that wasn’t rigged by the super rich - instead of killing millions of innocents in their for-profit wars, we could have put $trillions into green tech etc. Ugh!! Neoliberalism is HELL.
