“According to a new Oxfam report, the 8 million people who make up the world’s richest 0.1% are responsible for more carbon pollution than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined” It's time to #MakeRichPollutersPay fortune.com/2026/10/30/o...
‘Setting the planet on fire’: Richest 0.1% emit more carbon than poorest 3.5 billion, Oxfam says | Fortune

NEW: Oxfam report finds, the ultrawealthy are responsible for more carbon pollution than more than half of humanity. Not only are they insulated from the impacts of the climate crisis, they are profiting off of the disasters that they have created. More here: time.com/article/2026...

Did you know climate disasters are not experienced equally? This disaster divide is clear. As rich polluters most responsible for climate chaos profit off crises globally, ordinary people face the impacts of the resulting floods, fires and famine. Let's #MakeRichPollutersPay.

The U.S. is in the grips of an inequality emergency. Decades of deliberate, regressive policy choices have rigged the system in favor of an ultra-wealthy few while everyone else falls further behind. This November 3, make your voice heard at the ballot box and #Vote.
