The 2023 Climate Inequality Report from the World Inequality Database paints a clear picture: A relatively small part of the world's population, the richest of the rich, caused by far the most CO₂ emissions!

The top 10 percent of the population causes almost half of all global CO₂ emissions. The top 50 percent is responsible for more emissions than the entire bottom half of the world's population. At the same time, the top 2 percent, who own three-quarters of the world's private wealth, face a 75 percent loss of income - while the bottom XNUMX percent, who own only XNUMX percent of the world's wealth, face a XNUMX percent loss of income as a result of the completely arbitrary measures taken by the Climate Change Policy!

North America and Europe are said to be jointly responsible for half of global greenhouse gas emissions since 1850, despite the fact that only a small part of the world's population lives in these areas. At the same time, those areas that historically and today have the lowest CO₂ emissions are particularly affected. Often these countries are burdened with large debts, which force them to give their money to debt collectors instead of being able to take care of their own people. This reinforces existing injustices.

The report shows which population group would benefit most from emissions reductions: the very wealthiest . The report calls for a redistribution of wealth from the Global North to the Global South. At the same time, it proposes higher taxes for the richest. CO₂ emissions are merely a reflection of society and both a consequence and a cause of enormous inequality. Only by addressing these inequalities and injustices can lasting change be achieved.

The richest of the rich are responsible for more than half of the world's CO₂ emissions

Support Dravens Tales from the Crypt

Dravan flag NEW square 300 2"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
