#ScientistRebellion's Campaign: Make Them Pay

“To avoid #ClimateCatastrophe, societies must shift into emergency mode. This includes reducing the #luxury emissions of a wealthy #elite, whose carbon footprint is orders of magnitude larger than that of the rest of us. It is unacceptable that the super-rich continue criss-crossing around the world while millions are suffering from disastrous climate impacts."

Demands:

- Ban Private Jets
- Tax Frequent Fliers
- Make Polluters Pay

"We are at our strongest when we join forces with other groups. For this campaign, we collaborated with #ExtinctionRebellion, #StayGrounded, and #Debt4Climate."

"Companies such as #ExxonMobil, #Chevron, #Shell, #BP, #Eni and #TotalEnergies are among the biggest [#MultinationalCorporations] on Earth, and the people who run them are paid handsomely for the revenues their leadership helps to generate.

"So, just how rich are the CEOs of the world’s biggest energy companies? Here’s a look at the enviable salaries of the Big Oil chief executives..."

#Chevron says Richmond ballot measure to tax refinery will cost Bay Area drivers

"One of the Bay Area's largest refineries says it's against a tax measure on November's ballot, which could force it to pay more in taxes.

"Chevron is firing back at the City of Richmond, which greenlighted the measure. Chevron says if voters approve it, drivers across the Bay Area can expect to pay more at the pump.

"'This tax is the wrong approach,' said Tolly Graves, the director of Chevron's Richmond refinery, making it clear that the company is against a refinery tax, dubbed the '#PollutersPay Initiative.'

"In November, voters will decide to tax one of the state's largest refineries $1 for each barrel of oil processed in city limits.

"'At Chevron, our objective is always to provide reliable, affordable and clean [sic] energy to our customers and this tax puts all three at risk,' said Graves.

[...]

"Supporters of the tax argue that #pollution from the refinery has impacted residents' health.

"'The local air district traces the #particulate matter from the refinery. It's five-to-11 premature deaths every year,' said Kerry Guerlin, attorney from Communities for a Better Environment Action."

"An extensive new analysis of the world’s climate policies shows their limitations and which ones really work.

"Countless policies have been thrown at the challenge of #ClimateChange, but how many have actually had an impact?

"To figure out what really works, researchers looked at 1,500 ways countries have tried to curb heat-trapping gases over the years. Their answer: Not many have done the job.

"And success often means someone has to pay a price, whether at the pump or elsewhere [why not cut into CEO's obscene profits?!!!].

"'We won't crack the climate problem in wealthier nations until the polluter pays,' said Rob Jackson, a Stanford University climate scientist and author of the book Clear Blue Sky. 'Other policies help, but nibble around the edges.'
