Class warfare title - uses the emotion of fear to stir anger against other people. Blaming them for whatever.<p>edit: also legitimizes the &quot;carbon credit&quot; narrative, that all people will have a carbon allowance that goes into our social credit score and stuff.<p>Social credit scoring to save the planet!!<p>It makes us accept that as the starting point of the discussion, and build our hate of the rich people upon it.

&gt; The carbon dioxide emissions of the richest 1% of humanity<p>That is everyone here - so before you get on your high horse about private jets and mega yachts, know that this is calling <i>YOU</i> a piece of shit that is destroying the planet for your fancy lifestyle no matter how vegan you are or how much you recycle or how green your Tesla is, just as much as it is calling <i>Jeff</i> one.

But if we limit the use of private jets, how are the 1% going to get to the climate change summits at which they plot to save the world?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;private-jets-jeff-bezos-biden-johnson-trudeau-cop26-climate-conference-2021-11" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.businessinsider.com&#x2F;private-jets-jeff-bezos-bide...</a>

It always amuses me when people say we shouldn&#x27;t address climate change because it will impact the poor. The reality is the poor aren&#x27;t the people causing the problem.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-hub.tf&#x2F;10.1038&#x2F;s41560-020-0579-8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sci-hub.tf&#x2F;10.1038&#x2F;s41560-020-0579-8</a>
