Almost all of these emissions in the headline are from the businesses they own shares in. So this is saying business emissions, just in a non-intuitive roundabout way.

You could assign company emissions to the consumers, the employees, or the owners. Without any one of those the company wouldn’t emit. I just wanted to make it clear that this study assigns it to the owners.
If you don’t include investment emissions, they’d emit more in 22 days than the average person does in their life.
Here’s the actual study
This number is almost entirely investment emissions, how much the companies they own emit.
Oxfam’s analysis found that investment emissions are the most significant part of a billionaire’s carbon footprint. The average investment emissions of 50 of the world’s richest billionaires were around 2.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) each. That is around 340 times their emissions from private jets and superyachts combined. Each billionaire’s investment emissions are equivalent to almost 400,000 years of consumption emissions by the average person, or 2.6 million years of consumption emissions by someone in the poorest 50% of the world.44
It’s kinda crazy that another county just joined the war on the ground for Russia and there hasn’t been a huge response. I hope Ukraine’s allies can really step up the support, maybe even responding in kind by sending engineering forces.
Their recent launches have been using field Russia more commonly uses, so they might be getting Russian engines.
I thought it was taking about Boeing Defense, Space and security, which also wouldn’t really make sense.
Current ruling party is more friendly with Russia, right?
So for example, they could go after you in Russia for explaining why you decided not to have kids because of the environmental impact if it’s implied you encourage others to do the same.
I wonder what will be counted as propaganda. Russian laws are usually loose about that sort of thing so they can have an excuse to silence whoever they want.
At least that means they don’t plan to use them for an invasion soon?
I guess they’re relaxing the policy, since they’ve hinted previously that they viewed attacks on Russian territory to be a threat to the existence of Russia and would use nukes in response. But they didn’t.
To hedge his bets. He can’t let the future of Ukraine be entirely decided by a US election that’s out of his control.
Is this plan the ‘let’s let Russia have all the things it’s stolen’ plan?
And we could ridicule them pretty bad for getting a jet shot down by wandering into the wrong neighborhood.
I hope a Russian jet comes too close so they can shoot it down.
Op Sec was fantastic from Ukraine. With that and Russia ignoring what info on troop buildup they did have, they managed operational surprise.
They don’t have any non nuclear retaliation options they’re not already using, and nuclear is a profoundly bad idea.
More likely they’ll reposition troops to retake it, allowing for counter pushes elsewhere.
You’re saying it was not targeted at combatants, or that there was a lot of collateral damage?
