America’s wealthiest people are also some of the world’s biggest polluters – not only because of their massive homes and private jets, but because of the fossil fuels generated by the companies they invest their money in.
Last year they increased their wealth by 8 trillion usd. Since 2021 their combined wealth is 42 trillion usd. (Thats twice as much as the rest 99% combined)
It is estimated that to fix the climate crisis it takes between 300 billion - 50 trillion usd. So they actually could do that.
And than there is the matter of comparing personal profit of a few. To the entire value produced by a country. Which is a really dumb comparison.
But you might know that the gdp of the us in 2021 was around 23 trillion.
So your the intellectual floor gymnast, dipshit.
