These carbon budgets are calculated based on how much carbon dioxide can be emitted while still keeping global temperature rise below catastrophic levels.\nDon't Miss:\nOxfam says the average emissions of a person in the top 1% amount to 75.1 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. That's enough to cause an estimated 1.3 million heat-related deaths by the end of the century.\n“Time and time again, the research shows that governments have a very clear and simple route to drastically slash carbon emissions and tackle inequality: by targeting the richest polluters,” Oxfam Climate Policy Lead Nafkote Dabi said.\nBillionaires are also investing heavily in polluting sectors such as oil, gas and mining. According to Oxfam, the average billionaire’s investment portfolio produces 1.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. At the November United Nations Climate Change Conference in Brazil, fossil fuel lobbyists received more credentials than nearly every other group, underscoring how powerful interests shape global negotiations.\nTrending: GM-Backed EnergyX Is Solving the Lithium Supply Crisis — Invest Before They Scale Global Production\nTo address this, Oxfam is urging governments to tax the ultra-wealthy, implement excess profit taxes on fossil fuel companies, and ban carbon-intensive luxury items like private jets and superyachts. The group is also calling for structural economic reforms focused on equity and sustainability.\nOne company taking steps toward a clean energy future is EnergyX, a U.S.-based startup that developed a high-efficiency lithium extraction technology. EnergyX says it has found a way to extract much more of this key component in batteries, much faster, and with less harm to the environment. Backed by General Motors (NYSE:GM) and the U.S. Department of Energy, the company is now scaling toward commercial production and offers early-stage investment opportunities starting at $1,000.\nRead Next: \nImage: Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.0","shortVersion":"4.36.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2603633661","isCrawlerRequest":true}
