Business, homes and cows damage the environment. A report from a charity said billionaires also cause damage. The average billionaire creates three million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. This is a million times more than an average person creates. Billionaires create as much CO2 as France.
Luxury yachts and private jets mean billionaires have a huge carbon footprint. The charity said: "The…growing responsibility of wealthy people for overall emissions is rarely discussed…in climate policy making." It added: "Billionaires have a huge responsibility for…climate breakdown. They have escaped accountability."
Back to the super-rich CO2 emissions lesson.
