The richest 1% flaunt their excessive wealth by polluting on the rest of us. These mega wealthy individuals have been dubbed "the polluter elite".

The richest 1% of humanity is responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%, with dire consequences for vulnerable communities and global efforts to tackle the climate emergency, a report says. The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all CO2 emissions in 2019 – enough to cause more than a million excess deaths due to heat, according to the report. For the past six months, the Guardian has worked with Oxfam, the Stockholm Environment Institute and other experts on an exclusive basis to produce a special investigation, The Great Carbon Divide. [ ... ] The Oxfam report shows that while the wealthiest 1% tend to live climate-insulated, air-conditioned lives, their emissions – 5.9bn tonnes of CO2 in 2019 – are responsible for immense suffering. Using a “mortality cost” formula – used by the US Environmental Protection Agency, among others – of 226 excess deaths worldwide for every million tonnes of carbon, the report calculates that the emissions from the 1% alone would be enough to cause the heat-related deaths of 1.3 million people over the coming decades. Over the period from 1990 to 2019, the accumulated emissions of the 1% were equivalent to wiping out last year’s harvests of EU corn, US wheat, Bangladeshi rice and Chinese soya beans. The suffering falls disproportionately upon people living in poverty, marginalised ethnic communities, migrants and women and girls, who live and work outside or in homes vulnerable to extreme weather, according to the research. [ ... ] “The super-rich are plundering and polluting the planet to the point of destruction and it is those who can least afford it who are paying the highest price,” said Chiara Liguori, Oxfam’s senior climate justice policy adviser. The twin crises of climate and inequality were “fuelling one another”, she said.

The Top 1% may be bad, but the Top 0.1% are proportionately far worse.

The report says this is bad news for the climate on multiple levels. The extravagant carbon footprint of the 0.1% – from superyachts, private jets and mansions to space flights and doomsday bunkers – is 77 times higher than the upper level needed for global warming to peak at 1.5C. The corporate shares of many super-rich are highly polluting. This elite also wield enormous and growing political power by owning media organisations and social networks, hiring advertising and PR agencies and lobbyists, and mixing socially with senior politicians, who are also often members of the richest 1%, according to the report.

By owning large media entities, they exert great influence on public policy by manipulating the news narrative. We're looking at you Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk.

They want to distract you with irrelevant trivia rather than let you focus on their complicity in the problems they themselves perpetuate. Culture wars and glib irrelevancies like "but her emails!" and "Biden's age" are components in the toolkit of the climate-denying industrial complex.

Reasons to Reserve a Private Sailing Charter for the Entire Day

The wonderful weather and breathtaking natural beauty that envelop the US Virgin Islands draw in the majority of visitors. Going on a private sailing excursion with Shades of Blue Charters is the ideal way to really appreciate all of that natural beauty.

As the wind picks up speed and carries you towards your first snorkel stop at Lovango Cay, everything will grow quite silent. The coral at Lovango is incredibly healthy, making for excellent snorkelling. After preparing you for snorkelling, Capt. Tim and his crew will let you have some light food and beverages as they cruise to the next location. The crew will give you historical information about the Virgin Islands and point out important locations while you're travelling. At your second stop, you can continue your snorkelling or just unwind on the cosy bean bag chairs on the deck while the sun (or shade) is shining.

You'll savour a delectable prepared lunch here. There's generally time for one more stop after this before returning to the marina. The final stop is sometimes at Christmas Cove, where you can swim, snorkel, or just kick back on the deck and take in the stunning surroundings.

The Details

Water, drinks, and snorkel gear will be provided on outings.

We provide healthy snacks and a prepared lunch for the full-day excursion.

We provide small lunches for the half-day excursions.

One ultra-rich European takes an average of 140 flights a year, spending 267 hours in the air and producing as much carbon as the average European would in over 112 years. In the same period, one superyacht user emits as much carbon as an ordinary European would in 585 years. Less than a week of emissions from the superyachts and jets of one of the 31 of the richest people in the EU  exceeded the entire lifetime emissions of a person in the world’s poorest 1%. Fifty of the world’s richest billionaires on average emit more carbon through their investments, private jets and yachts in just over an hour and a half than the average person does in their entire lifetime.
