Global Warming Behind 80 Lakh Richest! 1.9 Million Lives At Risk? Shocking New Oxfam Report Reveals Truth

 

80 Lakh Rich People Are Burning The Earth! 19 Lakh Lives To Pay The Price - New Report Shocks The World*

Bhubaneswar, Odisha:  Is the Earth's future in the hands of just 80 lakh people? A shocking new report has claimed exactly that. The question being asked around the world is -  Will 80 Lakh Rich People Burn Our Earth?

According to the latest international report, global warming is not being caused by the common man, but by a tiny group of ultra-rich people.

What Does The New Report Say?

International NGO *Oxfam International has published a sensational report named   Disaster Divide: How Climate Chaos Deepens Inequality and Enriches the Few'* on 27th October 2026, just ahead of the UN Climate Summit COP31 in Antalya, Turkey.

The key findings of the report are truly alarming:

1. 80 Lakh vs 350 Crore:

The world's richest  0.1% people, which is just 8 million or 80 lakh people*, produce more carbon pollution than the world's poorest  44% population, which is 3.5 billion or 350 crore people, combined. The report states that the richest 0.1% produce  44% more consumption-based emissions than the poorest 50%.

2. 19 Lakh Deaths Warning:

The report estimates that  just one year of emissions from the richest 1% will cause approximately 1.9 million (19 Lakh) excess deaths due to extreme heat. Shockingly,  78% of these deaths will occur in low and lower-middle-income countries , which are responsible for only 8% of global emissions.

3. 400 Times More Dangerous:

A person in the richest 0.1% has contributed nearly 400 times more to extreme heatwaves  than someone in the poorest half of humanity. They also produce  more than three times as much carbon pollution as the entire population of Sub-Saharan Africa (1.3 billion people). 

4. Private Jets and Luxury Life:

The report exposes the luxury lifestyle of the rich. Private jets alone emitted  16 million tonnes of CO2 in 2025.  In total, private jets emit more carbon in just  two seconds  than a person in the poorest half of the world emits in an entire year. The rich are using private jets, big villas, and high-energy-consuming vehicles.

5. 20% of Global Warming:

The richest  1% are responsible for 20% of global warming since 1990.

Who Are These 80 Lakh Rich?

According to Oxfam, this super-rich group includes billionaires whose investments are heavily focused on polluting industries. The report analyzed investments of 1,000 billionaires and found they generated  486 million tonnes of CO2 in 2025,  The report also created a 'Destroy & Rebuild Index' of 217 corporations that both cause climate disasters and profit from the clean-up.

What is The Solution?

Oxfam has urged governments at COP31 to take strict action:

- Impose permanent wealth tax on the ultra-rich

- Impose heavy taxes on fossil fuel companies and private jets

- Triple climate adaptation funding for poor countries by 2035

The report clearly states:  The people who contribute least to the climate crisis suffer the most, while the wealthiest are not only safe but are profiting from it.

Is it time to make the rich pay for polluting our planet?
