    • In the US, someone from the 0.1% creates more pollution in 100 days than someone from the bottom half will create over 30 years.

    • one year’s worth of emissions from the richest 1% will cause an estimated 1.9 million excess heat deaths.

    • the richest 1% are responsible for 20% of global warming.

    Also

    • we must reduce global emissions by 18% in the next five years

    https://www.unep.org/en/news-and-stories/press-release/new-unep-report-lays-out-emission-cuts-needed-return-15degc

    So if a 1%er kills 2,000,000 people a year from heat deaths alone, and produces 20% of global warming, and if we don’t reduce global emissions by 20% in the next five years most of the biome dies

    There is a moral move we are required to take
