'The injustice of climate change is caused by the rich and suffered by the poor. This cannot be allowed to continue & we have to change it as quickly as possible.'

Globally poor people least responsible for causal carbon emissions should not have to suffer the worst #climatecrisis harm. #GlobalClimateInjustice
#MakePollutersPay #LossandDamage
Global Rich emissions are holding us back from real (not token) #ClimateAction .
Poorer, energy-deprived 1/2 of world pop has barely contributed to or benefited from the past 30 years' rise in emissions.

Little water carriers in India (& other places most harmed by the #climatecrisis ) already digging holes in dried-up riverbeds can't afford more global heating from fossil fuels burned primarily by the elite in rich countries.

#GlobalClimateInjustice
= those least responsible for climate change-causing emissions, like these women in Bangladesh, suffer the most harm from the escalating #climatecrisis
= a big reason why I don't agree that all of humanity is 'equally responsible' for climate change.
#GlobalClimateInjustice is when people least responsible for the emissions driving climate change suffer the most from its harm.
This is happening TODAY all over the world, e.g., rice farmers in Vietnam.
Ending fossil fuels & #overconsumption (by the rich) are justice issues.
Scott Santens +Current inequality causes #GlobalClimateInjustice :
'Twenty of the richest billionaires are estimated, on average, to be emitting as much as 8,000 times more carbon than the billion poorest people.'
= harm our shared climate can't afford.

Professor Mark Maslin 𝕏 🙄 Any discussion of warming amounts needs to address how the millions of people most harmed *already* in the #GlobalSouth are affected.
For them, even 2 degrees is seen as a 'death sentence.' #GlobalClimateInjustice #LossandDamage
