The richest 1% of people create the same amount of carbon as the poorest two-thirds in the world. That's according to data published in a new report by the charity, Oxfam. It found that the lifestyles of the wealthy, such as taking frequent flights and eating out in restaurants, are closely connected to climate change. Oxfam's chief called for world leaders to “end the era of extreme wealth.”

Recapping it in an upside-down way, thanks to an anecdote, and of course a bit adjusted for the key words. I was having my daily coffee at my daily restaurant. There was the newspaper with titles about a strike. The owner, a senile lady, came and said to me "You know, you know me. I'll tell you. I, that lean towards left, am asking what the devil this mafia of workers that pretend to plunder the poor well-offs that give them jobs !;?.,:! They should clean up their acts instead of upsetting their poor employers!"

That is absolutely true! They live lavish life buy lambo, wear clothes just one time. that should be taxed and put the rules.

@@reglisse42 Hi, yes I see that, but it’s trying to make the bbc, go after the drug dealers in our society, driving around in their Range Rovers, with their big lipped girls, living way beyond their means. This would benefit licence fee payers, instead of talking about all these woke issues. The poor trans kid who was murdered, the amount of time spent on that, if he wasn’t trans, they wouldn’t have spent that much time, effort or licence fee payers money, on the matter!

By Bill Gates' logic, the riches also advocate the environmental protection the most. Therefore, their efforts offset the damages they created to the earth.
