Climate baddies

Figure 1. The richest 10% on earth are responsible for 52% of global emissions

Figure 2. Different lifestyles have vastly different energy consumption.

Climate baddies are the people that have done more than their fair share of contributing to the ecological crisis. In general, the richest amongst us are the worst offenders (see Figure 1 & 2).

Digging further it can be seen that the 1% are concentrated in specific areas of the globe (see Figure 2).

Figure 4. Roman Abrahamovitch and David Geffen are the worst offenders.

Sydney Based Climate Crooks

Clive Palmer

A major driver of the expansion of Australian emissions via coal exploration and exports, Palmer helped former PM Tony Abbott overturn Labor’s successful, low-impact carbon pricing scheme. Palmer graduated from being a massive LNP donor to funding his own party and running hard against Labor and its commitment to stronger climate action at the 2019 election. Whilst not residing in Sydney, he lives just north in the Sovereign Islands, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, and in Sofia in Bulgaria.

Frank Lowy

Westfield shopping centre empire co-founder Frank Lowy was ranked the country’s ninth richest person with a net worth of $8.82bn. Mr Lowy splits his time between Israel and a waterfront residence in Sydney’s exclusive Harbour enclave Point Piper.

Harry Triguboff

An Australian billionaire real estate developer, Triguboff is the managing director of Meriton Apartments Pty Ltd. As of 2015 Meriton had built more than 55,000 residential townhouses and apartments since its creation in 1963. He lives in Sydney and owns a collection of cars.

Anthony Albanese

A serial liar about the government’s climate policies — the most common topic of Morrison’s lies is climate action — who has sought to actively undermine international agreements relating to climate, Morrison has ensured a continuation of a decade of climate inaction and energy policy chaos, actively deterring investment in renewables while encouraging coal and gas-fired power (to the benefit of his political donors and former employers of his own staff). Bonus points for pretending to be moving towards meaningful climate action.

Rupert Murdoch

Future generations will identify the Murdoch family and those who work for it as a key reason for the failure to prevent significant climate change in the first quarter of the 21st century.

The right-wing media oligarch has consistently supported climate denialism and backed climate denialist politicians, and his outlets have campaigned hard against and lied about, any serious climate action. His influence in Australia, where his companies dominate the media, is particularly toxic.
