The Earth is burning. From California to Washington, from Amazon rain forest and Pantanal to Siberia. There is no doubt that the global warming is the cause. So, who's responsible for putting the world on fire?
tl;dr the rich.
tl;dr the rich.
The rich are responsible for the great chunk of the CO2 emissions. One intercontinental flight emits more CO2 than majority of the people in the world can emit in a year. Someone who has to travel two hours to the work everyday because there is no job closer isn't to blame, too.
Billionaires related to the Big Oil funded campaigns leading to misinformation and doubt about scientific consensus. They knew that their action will bring an apocalypse on us, but they've chosen profits over planet.
The ruling class has made a system that preserves their economical status and leads to political stagnation. They bought themselves politicians just to ensure that status quo will be sustained. Now, even if we know the true about the crisis, we experience it, nothing can be done.
