Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis, report finds
Oxfam says investing by rich in disaster recovery widens inequality and gives incentive to delay climate action The world’s wealthiest people are not just profiting from the polluting causes of climate breakdown, they are also increasingly cashing in on the catastrophic consequences, according to a study by Oxfam. The global equality organisation has found that the richest 0. 1% of the world’s population are heavily invested in disaster preparedness, recovery and reconstruction - a market that is projected to grow from $70bn to $92bn a year by 2029.

They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’.
Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks.
Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations.

Oxfam: allerrijkste 0,1 procent stoot meer CO2 uit dan helft wereldbevolking, en verdient ook nog eens aan klimaatrampen
De allerrijkste 0,1 procent van de wereld, dat zijn 8 miljoen mensen, stoot meer CO2 uit dan bijna de helft van de wereldbevolking. En tegelijkertijd verdient deze groep mensen steeds meer aan de klimaatrampen, stelt Oxfam in een vandaag verschenen rapport. Ook identificeerde de ontwikkelingsorganisatie 217 bedrijven die verdienen aan het veroorzaken van de klimaatcrisis en/of de wederopbouw na klimaatrampen.

A Flórida produziu em 2025 um PIB de US$ 1,81 trilhão, segundo o Bureau of Economic Analysis. O Brasil, com nove vezes mais habitantes, produziu US$ 2,28 trilhões ao câmbio médio do ano. À primeira vista, um único estado americano de 23,5 milhões de pessoas tem uma economia quase do tamanho da brasileira, com 213 milhões. A renda por habitante da Flórida, de cerca de US$ 77 mil, é mais de sete vezes a brasileira, de US$ 10,7 mil. Mas essa comparação esconde um problema de medida que a economia do desenvolvimento conhece há décadas e raramente leva a sério: os serviços custam muito mais caro nos países ricos do que nos países pobres.

Not surprising at this points, but still shocking. The richest 0,1% emits as much as the poorest 44% of the worlds population.

Part of it is lifestyle. The world’s private jets, for example, release more CO2 in two seconds than most of the world’s people emit in an entire year. But the biggest impact of this group comes from their investments in companies that contribute to or profit from climate chaos
