Carbon Inequality Kills: Why curbing the excessive emissions of an elite few can create a sustainable planet for all - Oxfam Policy & Practice
The only way to beat climate breakdown and deliver social justice is to radically reduce inequality. This briefing paper reveals the catastrophic climate impacts of the richest individuals in the world, and proposes taking urgent action to protect people and the planet. What little carbon dioxide we can still safely emit is being burned indiscriminately […]

Energie is een basisbehoefte. "Betaalbare, betrouwbare, duurzame en moderne energie voor iedereen in 2030" is dan ook een van de SDG-doelen van de Verenigde Naties. Toch valt energie in veel landen onder het hoge BTW-tarief. BE & UK vormen uitzondering.

What are the chemtrail conspiracy theorists going to say now?

No gases or particles out of the exhaust because there is no exhaust, so no contrails can form.
First 100%-electric flight landing at JFK airport cost $8 for the electricity (to travel 70 nautical miles in 35 minutes).

That's $1.60 per passenger for the 5 passengers.

"Quieter, simpler"

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull takes on a Rupert Murdoch anti-science propagandist.

“…saying you believe or disbelieve in global warming is like saying you believe or disbelieve in gravity”.

Electrification is efficiency.

With clean electricity, we cut major inefficiencies, lowering overall energy demand in a decarbonized world.

For the average U.S. voter it might be required to point out:

900,000 miles is a big number.
13,000 miles is a small number.
An acre of land can power a car to go 13,000 miles per year using biofuel (corn ethanol), or 900,000 miles per year using solar.

NEW ANALYSIS:

China added enough clean energy in 2024 to power Germany (500TWh)

That halted rise of emissions for most of 2024 – but did not cut CO2

China could add enough clean GW in 2025 to power 2xUK (600TWh)

Industrial energy use in Europe reduced by 21% since 2000.

Most of this is because of energy efficiency: Without it industry energy consumption would be 37% higher today compared to 2000.

It's not because of deindustrialisation: Industrial activity in 2023 was much higher than in 2000.
