If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

This chart is a great view of how many protections for people experiencing poverty came after/during the pandemic. We need to bring these back into practice. #EnergySky

The carbon inequality is astonishing. Sad that I'm not surprised by this inequality
andrewlfanning.bsky.social Andrew Fanning @andrewlfanning.bsky.social · Nov 30
You need to see shocking extent of carbon inequality around the world.

A remarkable study led by Jared Starr finds that super-rich US households emit *2000 TIMES* more CO2e than average low-income country households.

How the f*ck is that even possible? The disparity never ceases to enrage me.
An infographic entitled 'Household CO2e emissions in 2019 per income group (within United States and across countries)'. The graphic uses different-sized bubbles to show household carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions between across countries groups (low-income, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income), and also within the United States (bottom 10%, 90-99%, 99.9%, and super-rich & billionaires). Emissions values shown range from a tiny bubble representing 1.6 tonnes of CO2e per household in low-income countries to a huge bubble extending beyond the chart area representing nearly 3,500 tonnes per household among US-based super-rich & billionaires.

As more 2035 NDCs are being released, it comes in handy that we at Center for Global Sustainability have just published a report on what High Ambition 2035 targets could be for 17 major emitting countries, as well as their combined global emissions and temperature impact. tinyurl.com/56pyu3sd 1/6
Alt text: Screenshot of CGS’s report “Table 2.1. Total GHG Emissions Reductions by 2035 for the G20 Countries and Globally Under the High” which shows for 17 major emitting regions as well as for World what a high ambition 2035 NDC emission target would be, in total GHG incl. and excl. LULUCF compared to the countries respective base year (or future assumed peaking year), as well as in GHG excl LULUCF compared to 2023 (as this is the most comparable metric, though country specificities mean that even in that metric, differentiation is of course to be expected).
