No one becomes this rich by working.
They fund right-wing parties, oppose worker/human rights, cause more pollution than normal people.

The Green party is becoming known for hope, for climate justice, for people and planet. But we haven't lost sight of the emergency, the Green surge is a surge to tackle the most important issues, to make sure that we get a government for the real world, not for billionaires' fantasies.

The government's climate policies must be led by the science, not by climate deniers and their friends from the fossil-fuel lobby.
