How is an American family making 100k a year burning more than rich Russians? How? They aren’t! A dollar more than average is what, 66,000 a year for that family? They aren’t burning more than the wealthy in third world nations! This is an absolute farce and an yet another attack against class and it makes me wonder what side you people are on. You can’t blame the burning of fossil fuels by billionaires on regular Americans just for existing!
No one is saying that the average American family is burning more than a Russian oligarch. They're burning more than the poorest people on the planet.
You need to keep in mind how incredibly poor the poorest half the population on the planet is.
