Climate change is driven by humans and will affect us all. But it’s not driven by everyone equally, and it doesn’t affect everyone equally. In the last 250 years, 77% of global emissions were emitted by Europe, North America, Australia, and Japan. At the same time, carbon emissions from nearly all low-income countries have been negligible compared to those of rich countries. Despite this, some of the biggest impacts from climate change are expected to affect lower income nations that emit fewer greenhouse gasses per capita.

The ones who polluted the least suffering the most is the worst Injustice

@Praisethesunson 8 месяцев назад

That's standard justice under the capitalist system.

Afghanistan cost around 2 trillion. Current estimate to go full renewable with Nuke baseline is around 4.5 trillion. The money is there if there is political will.

@DrewLonmyPillow 8 месяцев назад

The tech and funds exist to make a baseline nuclear energy grid. The people don't want it. No politician is going to push nuclear on a constituency that doesn't want it. Have we already forgotten the GE Boycott?

The political will of voters well versed in derp. Good luck...

Climate justice is too often ignored or mocked or weaponised by deniers (think kids mining rare earth minerals for EVs). But it has to be front and centre.

@cassieoz1702 8 месяцев назад

How is the 77% figure calculated? Last time i looked, China (if we can trust their reports) produced more, gross, than Australia. The four you mention are the highest PER CAPITA but Australia has a tiny population compared to the others

@SergeantSpandex 8 месяцев назад

Yeah and didnt a recent volano eruption also release an estimate to last 100 years worth of emissions?

@RedShirtSmith 8 месяцев назад

It might take into effect historical emissions, which would take into account how long these countries have been producing CO2 and benefitting from them.

@scottabc72 8 месяцев назад

@@SergeantSpandex No recent volcano eruptions have come anywhere close to humankinds emissions, the USGS estimates that we produce 130 times more than all volcanoes yearly. That would change if, for example, the Yellowstone mega volcano exploded but then we would have other things to worry about.

@SergeantSpandex 8 месяцев назад

@scottabc72 oh yeh, it was annual volcano emissions being 200-440 Mil Tons versus 460 Mil Tons from Australia annually. So high activity years are almost equivalent to Australia
