Report: Super-rich reap double dividend from climate crisis
Original: Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis, report finds https:// lemmy.ml/post/54580767
A new report finds the wealthiest people are benefiting twice from the climate crisis: their investments are heavily tied to the fossil fuels driving global warming, while they are also shielded from its costs, which fall mostly on poorer populations. Commenters sharing the findings argue the analysis underlines how climate change deepens inequality and renewed calls to tax extreme wealth.
Why now: A fresh report on how billionaire wealth both drives and profits from climate change has struck a chord amid growing debate over inequality and climate policy.
