@SaveThePlanet87 Should lobbying be illegal? How do we get the donors money out of the pockets of those who make legislation, since they clearly create laws based on whoever gives them the most money.
Q6 "The suffering of the many pays for the luxury of the few" Greta Thunberg. What are some examples of the rich getting richer on the expensive of the environment as well as people in the developing world? #ClimateChangeEquity
These questions do not have a right or wrong answer. They are meant to create thought and open discussion. All answers are welcome. #ClimateChangeEquity
Q4 "free riders" are less vulnerable countries contributing most emissions. In contrast, "forced riders" are most vulnerable, but contribute fewer emissions. Do you believe every country should live under the same environmental restrictions? #ClimateChangeEquity
@SaveThePlanet87 Great answer! I ultimately believe the responsibility lies in the hands of the people. I thinks it is quite sad we live in a society that need to be told how to treat the planet.
Q2 a 2018 Report, reveals the poorest 50% of the population produces 10% of greenhouse gas emissions; the richest 10% is responsible for 50%. Do the rich have an obligation to lessen #ClimateChangeEquity or is that the responsibility of governments?
Environmental movements and campaigns mainly focus on broader aspects of climate change, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is time to narrow it down into more specific topics such as #ClimateChangeEquity.
Q5 Do you believe that highlighting #ClimateChangeEquity and how other human beings are affected would be a more effective means to get the message across rather than highlighting the effects on the natural world?
@krupamakadia Do you think the government should create more rules? should there be a "special" obligation for the wealthy? For example, Do you think it would be ok to take a climate change tax from the rich?
A research study about the contributions of developed and developing countries to global climate conveyed that 52% of the emissions from 1850 until 2010 came from developed countries, with the United States being the largest contributor #ClimateChangeEquity
Q3 environmental # campaigns already exist. Many of these focus on future ramifications. Why is it, that more people are concerned about an uncertain future rather than be concerned about the effects it is having on the current state of the developing world? #ClimateChangeEquity
Q1 Developed countries have contributed most of greenhouse emissions, and are more immune to climate change. In contrast, developing countries are more susceptible. What can we do to make people more aware of the effects of greenhouse on other human beings? #ClimateChangeEquity
The burdens and discrimination among the minority groups and indigenous community regarding the impacts of climate change is the subject of this campaign. #ClimateChangeEquity
