But what about its exclusionary effects, #AlgorithmicBias and #discrimination? 🤔

"Il rapporto analizza anche l’aumento della fame e della malnutrizione, con le emissioni dell’1% più ricco che hanno causato perdite di raccolti sufficienti a sfamare 14,5 milioni di persone ogni anno dal 1990."

Oxfam denuncia che i miliardari emettono più CO2 in 90 minuti di quanto possa emetterne un cittadino medio in tutta la sua vita

"I 50 più ricchi del mondo producono più emissioni in tre ore di quanto faccia un cittadino medio britannico in tutta la sua vita.

Le élite miliardarie stanno letteralmente avvelenando il pianeta e, ironicamente, vengono spesso ritratte come “visionari” che guidano l’innovazione verso un futuro più verde."

#ClimateCrisis

Every single month in the last 12 months has broken temperature records for the respective month. For ocean surface temperatures - it's now a 14 month streak

If we choose to continue to add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere then 2023/4 will soon look like a cool year, in a similar way to how 2015/6 now appears

"After gathering evidence from the UK, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal, UN special rapporteur Michel Forst said the repression faced by peaceful environmental activists was a major threat to #democracy & #humanrights.
