    I mean if you had bothered to open the article, it’s in the 2nd paragraph:

      I did, that continues as:

      more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all CO2 emissions in 2019 – enough to cause more than a million excess deaths due to heat, according to the report.

      Which is not the same as the headline.

        Top 1% does 16%, bottom 66% does 16%, middle 33% does 68%.

        On a per-capita basis, the top 1% is 8x worse than the middle 33% and 66x worse than the bottom 66%.
