It’s paper straws and compostable cups for the masses, space travel and $600m weddings for their overlords. No wonder everyone who can afford it wants a doomsday bunker, writes Arwa Mahdawi

      The commute itself? Hard to say. But according to the article, a billionaire produces emissions equivalent to a million average people.

      There are 3,311 billionaires.

      Once they are eliminated, that’s the emissions of 3.3 billion people taken care of.

      It’s actually difficult to estimate, but there are ways to calculate it. I gave up because I found one part of data expressed in CO2e per mile, another in CO2e per hour, and yet others with CO2 instead of CO2e. If I get into calculating that, I’m going to require funding.
