A week or so ago there was news about a research article[1] about greenhouse gases and how in the USA, the top 10% of households by earnings can be linked to a much higher carbon footprint. The headlines mentioned that 40 percent of USA’s GHG emissions can be attributed to the top 10%. Granted, it seems like they aren’t emitting directly, but it is linked by how they earn their money, and how they spend and invest it.
