The lifestyle of billionaires creates more than a thousand times more greenhouse gas emissions than the average person, according to a new report.
Oxfam, a confederation of charities that works to combat global poverty, issued a new report Monday titled “Carbon Billionaires: The investment emissions of the world’s richest people.”
Researchers used publicly available data in its calculations so billionaires who do not publicly reveal their emissions were excluded from the report, and are likely to be the worst offenders.
