    It should be noted that the category of ‘world’s richest 1%’ includes quite a lot of Americans. If you’ve ever flown for a vacation, there’s a decent chance you’re included in that category. This is not the Musks and Bezos and Gates of the world; it’s the doctors, lawyers, tech workers, and middle managers.

    They also own almost all of the other carbon emitting facilities & vehicles. So they’re responsible for most of the carbon emissions.
