It's not only private jets and outsized carbon emissions, the investments of the super rich are also causing massive climate damage.

From private jets & yachts to ownership of companies & financial assets, the 1% super-rich are responsible for an outsized share of the #ClimateCrisis, delivering nearly $1 trillion a year in damage to our climate. "The glaring inequalities between the impact on the planet of the super-rich and those of ordinary people are increasingly coming under the spotlight, as wealth inequality soars around the world." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/10/super-rich-assets-outsized-amount-climate-harm-study #CostOfLivingCrisis #Inequality #InequalityCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateBreakdown #PolyCrisis
