The richest 1% of humanity is responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%, with dire consequences for vulnerable communities and global efforts to tackle the climate emergency, a report says.

The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all CO2 emissions in 2019 – enough to cause more than a million excess deaths due to heat, according to the report.

Twelve billionaires’ climate emissions outpollute 2.1m homes, analysis finds

Rich G7 nations owe poor ones an estimated $13 trillion in unpaid development aid as well as support in the fight against climate change, British charity Oxfam says.

Instead of fulfilling their obligations, the International Group of Seven nations and their banks are demanding debt repayments of $232m per day, the organisation said on Wednesday.

“Wealthy G7 countries like to cast themselves as saviours but what they are is operating a deadly double standard – they play by one set of rules while their former colonies are forced to play by another,” Oxfam’s interim Executive Director Amitabh Behar said in a statement.

“It’s the rich world that owes the Global South: the aid they promised decades ago but never gave, the huge costs from climate damage caused by their reckless burning of fossil fuels, the immense wealth built on colonialism and slavery.”

Developed countries promised in 2009 to transfer $100bn annually between 2020 and 2025 to vulnerable states hit by increasingly severe climate-linked impacts and disasters – but that target was never met.

[...]

Oxfam said the G7 leaders are meeting as billions of workers face pay cuts and steep price rises.

“Global hunger has risen for a fifth consecutive year, while extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously for the first time in 25 years,” it said.

The G7 is home to 1,123 billionaires with a combined wealth of $6.5 trillion, and their wealth has grown in real terms by 45 percent over the past 10 years, noted Oxfam.

Carbon emissions from rich nations are estimated to have caused $8.7 trillion in losses and damage to low and middle-income countries, the charity added.

“The G7 must pay its debts. This is not about goodwill or charity – it is a moral obligation,” Behar said.

I've seen my local Oxfam charity shop, that I've gone to for years, become more and more politicized and woke: it's a charity specifically set up so that people can donate towards helping relieve starvation around the world, but for years now there have been transgender flags up in the window all year round, feminist postcards prominently on display, and the words "helping empower women" permanently painted on the shop banner. The Ukraine flags from last year are still up in the window but now they've been joined by posters saying "Support [Hamas-run] Palestine!"

All I wanted to do was drop off some books and clothes that could maybe be used to help starving people of all kinds get some food to eat, but to do so now actually means I have to take a side in two ongoing international wars, support the sterilizing and castration of children, and fund a sexist political agenda that insists on giving aid to women before men.

I'm really going to have to find a better charity to donate to, one not infested with modern identity politics, if there is one.

A heap of my description vanished on the Redbubble preview, so I wanted to put it somewhere safe.

COVID is not over. But neither is comedy.

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF) is one of the highlights of my year. Before COVID, and Melbourne's shutdown, I would go almost every night after work and see dozens of shows. When COVID came onto the scene in 2020, I was one of the people who asked MICF if we would be able to opt to give the costs of our tickets to the artists instead of receiving refunds.

I ventured out between lockdowns when it was held in a much more subdued fashion to see some of my die-hard favourites. In 2023, I planned my schedule to ensure plenty of time outside between shows, away from crowds, and masked at every show. I was cautious as hell, as were friends who I attended with, and yet I had an absolute blast—and I didn't get sick.

COVID is not over. But neither is comedy. I designed this work to showcase that feeling of joy I still get from attending live comedy, while also remaining mindful of the risks, in hopes that other people will enjoy this design as well.

I purchased the original stock art of the laughing people from iStock (credit: jesadaphorn) and added the masks myself in Photoshop, also recolouring some of the people to reflect the diversity in MICF performers and audiences.

I don't know what, if any, profit I will make from this, but I will donate 10% of any profit I earn to Oxfam, selected due to its ties to MICF and its COVID-19 response.

Thank you for reading and for considering this design. It came from the heart.

Hi everyone.

Today is New Years Eve 2023. So far over 20,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, a number which continues to climb with no sign of slowing down. Almost 2,000,000 people have been forced from their homes, and have little access to basic human needs such as food and shelter. These war crimes must end.

Please join your local protest group, or write to your government, to demand a full and permanent ceasefire. You can also donate to the Gaza Crisis Appeal at oxfam.org.uk/oxfam-in-action/current-emergencies/gaza-crisis-appeal

Thank you all for reading. I understand that this isn’t the sort of thing I normally post, but none of us should stay silent in the face of genocide.

Free Palestine.

I work for oxfam and i am close to being let go, partially due to me coming off as rude

What, pray tell, am i doing to come off as rude? Literally nothing.

I walk in, say hi, do my job (a job that i do alone i'd like to point out. Not one that requires me working directly with other people or interacting with the public) say goodbye and leave.

But because i'm not going out my way to start conversations i really don't care about having at all. The neurotypical bastards I work with see that as being equivalent to telling them to fuck off and die apparently.

I'd say it's quite selfish to A, force someone into a conversation they don't want, B, decide said person is rude when they don't go out of their way to start that unwanted conversation and C. DECIDE THAT'S A GOOD ENOUGH REASON TO FUCKING SACK THEM.

The equality act may as well not exist because the employer will just find a bullshit excuse to fire you regardless, even if they dress it up as "you were being rude by saying absolutely fuck all"

Let it be known Oxfam is ableist and it can go fuck itself
