#ScientistRebellion's Campaign: Make Them Pay
“To avoid #ClimateCatastrophe, societies must shift into emergency mode. This includes reducing the #luxury emissions of a wealthy #elite, whose carbon footprint is orders of magnitude larger than that of the rest of us. It is unacceptable that the super-rich continue criss-crossing around the world while millions are suffering from disastrous climate impacts."
Demands:
- Ban Private Jets
- Tax Frequent Fliers
- Make Polluters Pay
"We are at our strongest when we join forces with other groups. For this campaign, we collaborated with #ExtinctionRebellion, #StayGrounded, and #Debt4Climate."

"There is a growing consensus on the need for some kind of #GlobalWealthTax."
Other possibilities include a #FrequentFlyer levy, and a carbon fee on international #shipping.
"This inequality is true not only between developed countries and developing ones, but within each country. Failing to address these inequalities could damage public acceptance of the measures needed to tackle the climate crisis." -- Laurence Tubiana
Could #climatechange bring an end to #economicinequality? Or reduce it, at least?
…by forcing a change to the #unsustainable lifestyle of the global elite [eventually]…or even threatening its very existence by challenging its core principles…
Would the #GlobalElite rather risk becoming #extinct than adapt to new ways of living?[dramatic tone intended]
A #globalwealthtax on the world’s #richest individuals would be a small step in the right direction.
