"Humans are a virus to planet earth" ?!
Spoiler: possibly you were promoting an ecofascist narrative. Don't worry, we all make mistakes from time to time. Welcome back.

OXFAM 'champagne glass' graph shows the #CarbonInequality between the richest and the rest.
As a very rough rule of thumb: if you can afford to buy a car, you are in the global top 10 percent.

Climate breakdown is not a tragedy — it’s a political choice.
A handful of polluters profit while the rest of us are told to recycle harder.We hold the long note of accountability until the walls shake.
This is what solidarity sounds like.#ClimateJustice #SocialJustice #EnvironmentalJustice

Faire Verteilung beim CO2-Ausstoß?
Reiche verursachen mehr #Emissionen – und wissen das auch. Doch gleichzeitig schätzen viele ihre eigene Klimabilanz als überdurchschnittlich gut ein. Eine aktuelle Studie der Universität Konstanz zeigt: Die sogenannte #CarbonInequality ist der Bevölkerung durchaus bewusst und viele wünschen sich eine gerechtere Verteilung.

The International Conference on Environmental Psychology (#ICEP) is taking place in #Vilnius from the 15th to the 18th of June.
Our research group will be presenting results on carbon inequality perception and on motivation to use more sustainable means of transport.

#Klimaberichte Die Angehörigen des reichsten Prozents der Weltbevölkerung haben bereits in den ersten zehn Tagen dieses Jahrs so viel Emissionen verursacht wie es jedem Menschen 2025 zustehen würde, wenn das 1,5°-Ziel erreicht werden soll. Menschen mit einem Gehalt von über 140.000 USD emittieren in 10 Tagen durchschnittlich 2,1 Tonnen CO2. Die Zahlen ergeben sich aus einer Untersuchung zur Carbon Inequality aus dem Jahr 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/10/worlds-richest-use-up-their-fair-share-of-2025-carbon-budget-in-10-days

John Wycliffe, a Protestant martyr, on the 6th Commandment. To kill is to not feed the feeble, those in pain, ashamed to beg, or made so by the sufferance of God.
Even if someone were in a sad state is due to God’s sufferance, Wycliffe would say a huge duty to feed: your fault for murder in death. Instead, do we now put dying people into the box of “God’s will”; go back to watching the game?
How can you avoid murder today?

Carbon inequality and climate injustice
"This year, the extremes have been more apparent than ever. Oil firms have raked in trillions of dollars in profits that they plan to use to expand production of climate-destabilising fossil fuels despite warnings from the International Energy Agency that this will make it impossible to keep global heating to within 1.5C."
"Based on this “mortality cost” formula, Oxfam calculates that the emissions of the richest 1% in one year are enough to cause 1.3m deaths over the coming decades from excess heat and other climate impacts."
"Carbon inequality and climate injustice denial of indigenous rights
Instead of making every effort to reduce emissions, the rich increase their carbon footprint by putting more distance between themselves and the masses.
cop28 extreme weather events""The international climate negotiating process has failed to keep pace with the growing power of the super-rich."

In #climate-vulnerable #NewOrleans, residents face battle to lower #CarbonEmissions
"#CarbonInequality in the US is a complex situation which for many people – particularly those on a low income – has little to do with personal choice."
E.g. tax rebates don't help you if you make too little to file a tax form (but still have to drive everywhere because there's no public transport).

The richest 10% of people in many countries cause up to 40 times more climate-heating carbon emissions than the poorest 10% of their fellow citizens.
"Transport, especially car use, is a major factor in the sky-high emissions of the richest 10%, with these emissions 20-40 times higher than the transport emissions of the poorest 10% in the countries analysed."
"In the US and Canada, road transport makes up about a third of the footprint of the top 10%. The transport emissions of the richest 10% are the same as the transport footprint of the bottom 70% of the population in those countries.
"An international taxation taskforce is due to launch at Cop28 to push for new climate levies and will consider taxes on wealth, fossil fuels, shipping, aviation and financial transactions."

This global average is helpful in pointing out #income #inequality between different countries/regions, and of course in terms of infamous #carboninequality in relation to income, globally.
But if you live in #Finland and earn like the global 10% you can't rely on your income to make it to the end of the month.
