Study Highlights Massive Emissions Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

Study Highlights Massive , Emissions Gap Between, the Rich and the Poor.br 'The Guardian' reports on the enormous gap br between the top 1 of earners and the rest of the br world's population and its impact on the climate. .br New data suggests the "the polluting elite" generate br the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions in a single br year as the bottom 10 produce in over two decades.br According to Autonomy's analysis of income and greenhouse br gas data from 1998 to 2018, it would take 26 years for a low earnerbr to generate as much CO2 as the richest do in a single year.br The study also found that if the UK had started taxing the carbon emissions of the top 1 of income groups twenty years ago, the effort would have raised over $126 billion. .br According to Peter Newell, professor of br international relations at the University of Sussex, br this massive disparity needs to be addressed.br On the eve of a critical climate summit br [Cop27] in Egypt, and staring down an br unprecedented cost of living crisis, br it is clear we are not all in this together, Will Stronge, Director of research at Autonomy, via 'The Guardian'.br 'The Guardian' reports that the UK is not alone with br its massive divide between high and low earners br when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions.br The disparity reportedly exists in both br developed and developing nations. .br The enormous release of carbon br emissions by the very richest br in society over the past br few decades is astonishing. , Will Stronge, Director of research at Autonomy, via 'The Guardian'.
