Richest 1% emit as much planet-heating pollution as two-thirds of humanity, Says Oxfam
#Carbon emissions of richest one percent surged to 16 percent of world’s total CO2 emissions in 2019.
#Their carbon emissions are enough to cause 1.3 million excess deaths due to heat.
#Unequal countries suffer seven times more flood fatalities than more equal countries.
#Fairly taxing the super-rich would help curb both climate change and inequality.
