Billionaires create a million times more CO2
Business, households and methane released from permafrost are damaging the environment. A new report from the British charity Oxfam highlighted the damage billionaires do to the environment. The rich lifestyles of the world's wealthiest people create a lot more CO2 than the average person. Their investments and lifestyles mean the average billionaire creates three million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. This is a million times more than what the average person creates. Billionaires create as much CO2 as the whole country of France. |
