      If you rephrase these stats, the group from top 50% to top 1% is responsible for 76,4% of Co2. pretty sure you are in that group.

        I’m not anywhere in that group. I haven’t even had a car in over ten years.

            Well below that, yes.

            If you’re arguing that anyone making over 2k a year is part of the problem, then why even argue anything? You’re missing the point that there’s a much much smaller group of people causing much much more pollution.

            “If you take every adult alive into consideration then they are responsible for all the pollution”. Yeah, no shit.

              Is blaming a worse group an excuse for a larger group to ignore everything?

                If the worse group is responsible for the overwhelming majority, yes. Not many people in the other group are ignoring it.

                Do you always concern troll so ineffectively? …Ori and the Blind Reasoning over here.

                  As i stated before, they are not responsible for the overwhelming majority, they are just much higher per person.

                  Even if you fix the top 1% to 0 you are still left with 84,1% of the previous emitted Co2.

                  I do agree that there should be reductions but not just to the top 1% and definitely dont blame someone as an excuse to be bad yourself.

                    Cool story. Fortunately just because you don’t believe in the truth, it didn’t make it any less true.
