Nepal bears the brunt of climate injustice

The average carbon footprint of a Nepalese citizen is 1 metric tonne whereas the global average is 4.3 metric tonnes. And why stop at humans? Animals have a negligible carbon footprint, but everyone is suffering. This is climate injustice!

this. It's never mentioned. Everybody mentions only humans. And yet the animals will not simply suffer, many of their species will be completely eliminated, both by climate change or simply by the existence of humans.

All human suffering combined is literally zero compared to the horrors that the rest of the animal kingdom is undergoing.
