Well, wouldn’t you know? There’s a polluting elite of rich people. As in, a polluting 1% across the planet. As in, a high-consuming few at the top of the pyramid of wealth and power who are producing their unfair share of carbon emissions.

Like it wasn’t abundantly clear already: inequality is baked into the system.

But now there’s a study to prove it. There are numbers. Charts. A report. All compiled by scientists. People who know these things and can validate everyone else’s experience. 

I supposed that’s progress. Maybe. 

Now, for fuck’s sake, tax the rich.
