"The #richest 1% of the world’s population are responsible for as much #carbon #pollution as the people who make up the #poorest two-thirds of humanity. They have stolen our planet’s #resources to fuel their lavish lifestyles. A short trip on a private jet will produce more carbon than the average person emits all year. They are sacrificing us at the altar of their greed." — Greta Thunberg.
