It seems to be more and more a #Greenwashing annual fair for rich kids toys, too, regarding there had been a panel named "responsible yachting"🤡

No, the #cop28 is obviously not the place, where the real problems of the ones with less money and most affected from #ClimateEmergency are taken serious.

Thank you for sharing this. Education as a public and societal good has always been the rhetoric, but we have to acknowledge that the system has always had, at its core, the goal of preserving the status of elites.

Once again, what's good for the elite is bad for everyone else.

The problem here isn't so much that different income levels have different outcomes. It's that the disparity in income is so great that it distorts *everything*.

nice discussion, i d like to add one point:

besides lifestyle consumption there are others as well

eg the emission of the way to make all that money as well the emissions associated with investing that money.

(In carbon counter language lifestyle emissions represent only the scope 1 emissions, the scope 2 and 3 emissions, all necessary for correct carbon accounting, are missing)

Applying this thinking to ones own life empowers us to associate the emissions our life generates with the specific responsible aspect. First identify, then change.

For example if i have savings of 60.000€ i am in the top 10%, i think

but more specific, if i earn my money making weapons or selling petrol products and then to invest my money in weapons and share of companies for petrol products, thats not good and needs to stop

become a nurse, handywoman, invest in community

The feeling of unspecified guilt destroys your revolutionary potential and is no coincidence

love
