The Climate's Dirty Dozen
They can't go on like this
New research from Oxfam found that twelve people’s yachts, private jets, mansions, and financial investments outpollute the annual energy emissions of 2,100,000 homes. (If you guessed that those twelve people were on shortlist of the planet’s wealthiest human beings, you get a gold star.)
Two days ago, the planet hit 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline for the global surface temp for the first time.
It’s time these folks got a leash.
UPDATE: We apparently did it again.
