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 ... link to the source study please? I'd like to better understand the findings.

@Voline Thanks. The data sources are important but the synthesis of their data and the reporting might be important on its own.
