Their dirty investments and luxury toys —private jets and yachts— aren’t just symbols of excess; they’re a direct threat to people and the planet,” said Oxfam International Executive Director Amitabh Behar.

    Including investments seems a bit disingenuous. I’m sure their personal carbon footprint is already huge without having to include that.

      If you don’t include investment emissions, they’d emit more in 22 days than the average person does in their life.

      Yep, these companies wouldn’t stop existing if their shares were distributed evenly between people and the clients should be considered responsible for the emissions considering they’re the ones requesting the product.
