Oxfam: allerrijkste 0,1 procent stoot meer CO2 uit dan helft wereldbevolking, en verdient ook nog eens aan klimaatrampen

rtl.nlOxfam: allerrijkste 0,1 procent stoot meer CO2 uit dan helft wereldbevolking, en verdient ook nog eens aan klimaatrampenDe allerrijkste 0,1 procent van de wereld, dat zijn 8 miljoen mensen, stoot meer CO2 uit dan bijna de helft van de wereldbevolking. En tegelijkertijd verdient deze groep mensen steeds meer aan de klimaatrampen, stelt Oxfam in een vandaag verschenen rapport. Ook identificeerde de ontwikkelingsorganisatie 217 bedrijven die verdienen aan het veroorzaken van de klimaatcrisis en/of de wederopbouw na klimaatrampen.

Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

According to Zelenskyy, for nearly a month Pete Hegseth has not been signing off on the delivery of vital Patriot and NASAMS interceptor missiles for Ukraine that European allies have already paid for. Here is a video of Hegseth cynically wishing Ukraine “success” a week ago:

Meta's $10 Billion data center in Indiana produced 300 permanent jobs That's $33 million per job In a typical manufacturing plant, a similar investment would create at least 300,000 jobs Data centers benefit wealthy investors, not communities

“I was only following orders” can work only where the order came from a competent authority, was not manifestly unlawful, and the subordinate neither knew nor reasonably should have known its illegality.

The legendary political strategist Arthur Finkelstein – master of the dark arts of negative campaigning who helped Netanyahu win in 1996 - was sent to help Orbán, along with his partner, George Birnbaum, who also worked as an aide to Netanyahu in the ’90s.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." ~ F.D.R

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.
