Texas, USA. May 10th 2021 – <\/strong>The world’s rich and powerful have confirmed that it is obviously the rest of us and not them who must reduce carbon emissions to save the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hot on the heels of another successful jaunt into space, one excessively rich billionaire explained “we the 1% of wealthiest people in the world contribute only 49% of emissions, however it’s the other 99% of you who contribute the other 51% of carbon emissions. It’s obvious therefore that any effort we make to stop flying our private jets or launching ourselves into space, while being a carbon intensive frivolity, creates the minority of impact to the client.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Our ridiculous wealth is aspirational for the rest of you, an important dream that, while not achievable, gives the masses hope. We would be letting down humanity to tone down our lifestyles. As your intellectual superiors, we need to travel to observe the world we’re leading. We are the captain of the Titanic, while the rest of you are like the soot-covered workers shovelling coal in the boiler room, you have no need to see the world, what you need to do is to keep shovelling coal. Hang on, maybe shovelling coal on the Titanic isn’t the best metaphor to use, but you get my point, you shovel, we look out for icebergs and steer the course of humanity.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
