Which is why I doubt that that's true. For it to be true, you'd probably have to do some kind of calculation like "if this privately owned company is owned by a billionaire, then assign all CO2 emissions from its entire operations to that one individual". So, if you eliminated them, you actually wouldn't eliminate those CO2 emissions. Someone would take over that business and it would continue putting out CO2 as long as someone was buying its products and/or services.
The science is available for you to double check the math and methods. Go do that and show us your findings if you dispute the results instead of baselessly assuming it isn't true because it doesn't fit your preconceived assumptions.
It's likely that the "million times more than the average person" includes the CO2 emissions from their stocks. still, making them scared is the easiest way to stop them from burning the planet where I live.
But you're not going to make them scared by publishing made up news stories like this. What will make them scared is politicians who they haven't bought being in power.
We're getting there. one Mamdani/Kat at a time.
I just wish it wasn't 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Lina Khan and Jonathan Kanter were really scaring the billionaires, but not only did they lose their jobs when Trump won, it seemed likely that Harris was going to ditch them if she won too.
the status quo will fight any change tooth and nail. not going to be easy
