Oxfam International found that global billionaires—with their superyachts, private jets, and investments—emit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes of their lives than the average person does in a lifetime.
Grouping yachts and private jets with investments seems a bit obtuse to me. They are both problems, but one is clearly significantly different from the other.
I agree with this point, it doesn’t make sense. Like, do we attribute all of Tesla/SpaceX etc. carbon emissions to Elon personally? Amazon/BlueHorizon to Jeff Bezos? …and so on.
Like, if those two individuals were Thanos-snapped out of existence, what would be the actual impact on carbon emissions? Because those companies would likely continue on without much change.
I suppose you could assign portions of carbon emissions from the company overall based on portions of shares owned. Shrug
