British MP: Earth is overpopulated, abolish the rich

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

George Orwell, he/his/him

Earth is overpopulated; there are too many rich people

To solve the climate crisis; the rich must be abolished.

Richest 1% in UK produce 11 times the carbon emissions of poorest 50%.

Richest 10% of the world's population produced 52% of all consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions.

Eliminating energy and resource intensive lifestyles of the richest would by far rapidly reduce emissions.

Confronting carbon inequality

Richest 10% (c.630 million people) were responsible for 52% of carbon emissions –depleting the global carbon budget by nearly a third (31%)

Poorest 50% (c.3.1 billion people) were responsible for just 7% of emissions, used just 4% of budget

No, it's not what you think (yet). She actually makes sense.
