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.

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.

That is the realisation that led me to start a new path, but I disagree with @mark-hudson.bsky.social ...I think it is also the fundamental motivation to have children, so that we choose to take action.

I thought this was a really thoughtful and challenging read by @jasonhickel.bsky.social on the dual social and environmental crisis, and how they are intimately linked for a better future
