Do you have evidence indicating that corporations and the wealthy do not pay their fair share of the carbon emissions they generate?
You know what, I'm sick of being told to take responsibility for a problem created by people thousands of times more wealthy and powerful than myself.
Why should people who can't even afford homes be paying carbon taxes while the wealthy fly around in private jets and build mega yachts?
Fuck this backwards ass thinking.
You could have just said "no I have no evidence and I'm using my feelings as facts" that would have saved us all time.
What evidence do you need of the wealthy consuming more than the poor? All you have to do is open your eyes and look around you.
Nobody is disputing that the wealthy consume more than the poor.
We are disputing your claim that the wealthy do not pay their fair share of greenhouse gas emissions. Please provide evidence to substantiate your claims.
