Just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions, study says

A relatively small number of fossil fuel producers and their investors could hold the key to tackling climate change

The number of people who don't understand they're in that 10% is hilarious.

This is GLOBALLY, folks. If you're in the US and you make $50k annually, THIS IS YOU. You're in the top 2% globally.

It's a statement on the unfathomably wide gap between developed and developing countries.

Hi Sheril,

I believe you/others might be interested in a petition for radical reform of the UN 🇺🇳, which has been vocal, but sadly largely ineffective, when faced with 21st century challenges such as #ClimateChange.

If indeed you are interested, the petition is accessible via toot:

"The wealthiest 10% are responsible for 1/2 of global CO2 emissions."
