Billionaires are responsible for a million times more greenhouse gas emissions than the average person, according to Oxfam.
Research by the international charity found that the investments of just 125 billionaires emit 393 million tonnes of CO2 each year, equivalent to the yearly emissions of 85 million cars.
This is one million times more than someone in the bottom 90 per cent of humanity. Everyone who earns below €173,000 on average is in this group.
The report comes amid calls for the world’s ultra rich to shoulder more of the financial responsibility for tackling the climate emergency at COP27.

The UN’s environment watchdog said on Friday it will launch a public database of global methane leaks detected by space satellites. It is part of a new program to encourage companies and governments to curb emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas.
The system, dubbed MARS or Methane Alert and Response System, will build on a pledge signed by 119 countries since last year to cut methane emissions by 30 per cent this decade, a goal scientists say is crucial to averting extreme climate change.
"The Methane Alert and Response System is a big step in helping governments and companies deliver on this important, short-term climate goal," Inger Andersen, executive director of the UN Environment Programme, said in a statement issued at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt.
"Reducing methane emissions can make a big and rapid difference, as this gas leaves the atmosphere far quicker than carbon dioxide."
