Oxfam report says super-rich profit doubly from climate crisis

A new Oxfam report finds the world's wealthiest people are collecting a 'double dividend' from the climate crisis, benefiting both from the activities that cause global heating and from the costs of responding to it. The findings, covered by the Guardian, argue that billionaire wealth is tied to polluting industries while ordinary people bear climate damages, reigniting calls for taxing extreme wealth to fund climate action.
Why now: A newly released Oxfam report on the super-rich's outsized role in and gains from climate change is drawing fresh attention to wealth-tax debates.
