According to a first of its kind study on “corporate carbon damages”, firms would lose 44% of their profits if they had to pay for the damages attributable to their climate pollution. When one of the researchers was asked what the total amount in dollars would be for such damages, co-author Christian Leuz revealed that “At $190 [the U.S. EPA’s current cost per ton of carbon], the utility industry averaged damages more than twice its profits. Materials manufacturing, energy and transportation industries all had average damages that exceeded their profits.” An additional analysis from 2013 that focused on pricing in environmental externalities came to a similar conclusion that does not bode well for “climate capitalism.” Influential climate analyst David Roberts, writing for Grist at the time, concludes: “Of the top 20 region-sectors ranked by environmental impacts, none would be profitable if environmental costs were fully integrated. Ponder that for a moment: None of the world’s top industrial sectors would be profitable if they were paying their full freight. Zero.”

Today would have been Marielle Franco’s 45th birthday, a fearless, anti-racist Afro-Brazilian politician who was assassinated in 2018, only 18 months into her election for a seat in the Rio de Janeiro City Council.

As a Black woman and single mother, she dedicated her life to defending those who shared her fate in the favelas (Brazil’s slums). She also took aim against racist police violence, which was fueled by fascist President Jair Bolsonaro.

Her killers assassinated her on March 4, 2018 in her car. They were eventually exposed as part of the state apparatus: two former police officers with ties to Bolsonaro. Three people were finally arrested in March of this year, after six years of fighting for justice. Among those arrested was former head of Rio de Janeiro's civil police, Rivaldo Barbosa.
