Oxfam claims a small group of billionaires have climate emissions equal to 66% of the world’s population. The study isn’t even to the level of a middle school science project – it’s that bad.

The media is filled with stories about Americans who say living in the U.S. is awful, so they moved off to another country where everything is wonderful. But the stories leave out critical details: Many never get residency visas and commute back and forth to the U.S. Many more had foreign citizenship by birth, marriage or right of descent – important details omitted from the stories.
