Scotland could become one of the first countries to establish a specific crime for mass environmental destruction as championed by late Scots barrister Polly Higgins.
Thats a true revolutionary cry. But since being “rich” is quite a relative term, you might wake up in the realization that most of the world considers you rich and your lifestyle complicit in the mass destruction of the global environment.
That’s quite the stretch. Don’t regulate the rich cause we might be caught up?
I don’t take private flights from one side of a city to another. I don’t own a yacht (or 6). I don’t own a fleet of vehicles with a staff that drives them around. I don’t throw away more food than most people eat. I don’t horde dozens of acres of land that contain nothing but wasteful lawn.
There’s a pretty stark contrast between the ultra wealthy, and the vast majority of people living in highly developed countries.

When people get in a rage about “the rich”, those kinds of distinctions generally go out the window.
You’re not wrong, but it’s not likely that a bunch of moneyless people from third-world countries are going to come over and genocide us.

The “sea people” weren’t a bunch of starving refugees, they were well-supplied and organized military invasion forces, but sure.
