A new report by Oxfam reveals that the carbon emissions of the richest 1% of the world's population are equivalent to those of the poorest two-thirds. The report characterizes the super-rich as plundering and polluting the planet, leading to extreme climate events. The findings highlight the disparity in carbon emissions and the impact of fossil fuels on human flourishing, as discussed by Alex Epstein in his book 'Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas – Not Less.' The report has sparked discussions about climate class warfare and the need for reliable energy for developing nations.
'Polluter Elite': Oxfam Slams Richest 1% For Staggering Contribution To Carbon Emissions https://t.co/4bZkUeMzmV via @HuffPostUKPol #ClimateCentral
It's such a mistake to say that the carbon footprints of the rich don't matter — and that rich, high-profile climate advocates can keep polluting like there's no tomorrow. All this does is justify the climate class warfare the rich are blithely waging against everyone else. https://t.co/Ypl4SswQbp

"The climate debate ignores the reasons we burn fossil fuels in the first place. Alex Epstein reminds us that rich countries may be able to treat green lifestyles as luxury fashion, but for much of the world reliable energy is a matter of life and death." - @peterthiel https://t.co/CQYEBF1C3o

"In the great debates about our energy future, Alex Epstein cuts to the heart of the issues persuasively and powerfully. Epstein frames everything-appropriately-around "human flourishing" and decimates the "anti-humanistic" outcomes of the anti-fossil-fuel lobby." - @MarkPMills https://t.co/JxzyE2KwOp
“Fossil fuels are so uniquely good at providing low-cost, reliable energy for developing nations that even nations with little or no fossil fuel resources have used fossil fuels to develop and prosper.” https://t.co/1qh8M0R4yN https://t.co/aJNcMmToMs
