"Humans are a virus to planet earth" ?!

Spoiler: possibly you were promoting an ecofascist narrative. Don't worry, we all make mistakes from time to time. Welcome back.

As a very rough rule of thumb: if you can afford to buy a car, you are in the global top 10 percent.

Climate Plunder: How a powerful few are locking the world into disaster - Oxfam Policy & Practice

Ahead of the major international climate conference COP30 in Belem, Brazil, new Oxfam research finds that the high-carbon lifestyles of the super-rich are blowing through the world’s remaining carbon budget - the amount of CO2 that can be emitted while avoiding climate disaster. The research also details how billionaires are using their political and economic influence to keep […]

Without change he warns we risk both a political backlash and an environmental catastrophe. Tackling #CarbonInequality is not optional. It is central to any hope of a fair and effective #ClimateResponse.

Faire Verteilung beim CO2-Ausstoß?

Reiche verursachen mehr #Emissionen – und wissen das auch. Doch gleichzeitig schätzen viele ihre eigene Klimabilanz als überdurchschnittlich gut ein. Eine aktuelle Studie der Universität Konstanz zeigt: Die sogenannte #CarbonInequality ist der Bevölkerung durchaus bewusst und viele wünschen sich eine gerechtere Verteilung.

Faire Verteilung beim CO2-Ausstoß?

The International Conference on Environmental Psychology (#ICEP) is taking place in #Vilnius from the 15th to the 18th of June.

Our research group will be presenting results on carbon inequality perception and on motivation to use more sustainable means of transport.

#Klimaberichte Die Angehörigen des reichsten Prozents der Weltbevölkerung haben bereits in den ersten zehn Tagen dieses Jahrs so viel Emissionen verursacht wie es jedem Menschen 2025 zustehen würde, wenn das 1,5°-Ziel erreicht werden soll. Menschen mit einem Gehalt von über 140.000 USD emittieren in 10 Tagen durchschnittlich 2,1 Tonnen CO2. Die Zahlen ergeben sich aus einer Untersuchung zur Carbon Inequality aus dem Jahr 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/10/worlds-richest-use-up-their-fair-share-of-2025-carbon-budget-in-10-days

Carbon Inequality Kills: Why curbing the excessive emissions of an elite few can create a sustainable planet for all - Oxfam Policy & Practice

The only way to beat climate breakdown and deliver social justice is to radically reduce inequality. This briefing paper reveals the catastrophic climate impacts of the richest individuals in the world, and proposes taking urgent action to protect people and the planet. What little carbon dioxide we can still safely emit is being burned indiscriminately […]

Oxfam Policy & Practice

John Wycliffe, a Protestant martyr, on the 6th Commandment. To kill is to not feed the feeble, those in pain, ashamed to beg, or made so by the sufferance of God.

Even if someone were in a sad state is due to God’s sufferance, Wycliffe would say a huge duty to feed: your fault for murder in death. Instead, do we now put dying people into the box of “God’s will”; go back to watching the game?

How can you avoid murder today?

Carbon inequality and climate injustice

"This year, the extremes have been more apparent than ever. Oil firms have raked in trillions of dollars in profits that they plan to use to expand production of climate-destabilising fossil fuels despite warnings from the International Energy Agency that this will make it impossible to keep global heating to within 1.5C."

"Based on this “mortality cost” formula, Oxfam calculates that the emissions of the richest 1% in one year are enough to cause 1.3m deaths over the coming decades from excess heat and other climate impacts."

Instead of making every effort to reduce emissions, the rich increase their carbon footprint by putting more distance between themselves and the masses.

We are not equally to blame for rising temperatures, and recognising that is an important step in identifying possible solutions
