Richest 0.1% (8M) produce more carbon pollution than 3.5B

According to Oxfam's analysis, the world's richest 0.1% (8 million people) produce more carbon pollution than the poorest 3.5 billion people combined, with each ultra-wealthy individual contributing nearly 400 times more to extreme heatwaves than someone in the poorest half of humanity. While the super-rich drive climate breakdown through outsized emissions, ordinary people suffer the consequences of floods, fires, and famine, yet the wealthy increasingly profit from disaster response and reconstruction. Oxfam calls for governments to hold rich polluters accountable and end climate profiteering.
