What would happen if the richest 10% reduced their CO2 emissions to the EU average (which BTW is a nice standard of living).

Answer, there would be a 35% decrease in global CO2 emissions.

So, all would be fixed, if we could limit the excesses of the top 10%.

@MarkHoltom How much must one earn per year to be in that top 10%? Is there somewhere that data is convenient?
