![]() Link: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/27/super-rich-double-dividend-climate-crisis-oxfam The world’s wealthiest people are not just profiting from the polluting causes of climate breakdown, they are also increasingly cashing in on the catastrophic consequences, according to a study by Oxfam. The global equality organisation has found that the richest 0.1% of the world’s population are heavily invested in disaster preparedness, recovery and reconstruction – a market that is projected to grow from $70bn to $92bn a year by 2029. This gives the planet’s wealthiest and most powerful people a “double dividend” from the climate crisis and, more alarmingly, an incentive to delay or disrupt action to solve the problem, the NGO says. |

Yup. Reminds me of the low wage-to-private prison pipeline. Billionaires profit at both ends. |
