Finally, a study just this week finds that two-thirds of all WARMING (not just emissions) is attributable to the wealthiest 10%.
Authors also find that the top 1% richest contributed 26x more to increases in monthly 1-in-100-year heat extremes globally and 17x times more to Amazon droughts.

Brief tangent:
I'm often asked why US evangelicals are so opposed to climate action, when it aligns so well with Biblical mandates to take responsibility for all living things and love each other as we've been loved by God.
Well guess what - fossil fuels were involved in that, too.

But what if we counted emissions by company instead?
After all, every ton of coal, oil & gas burned was extracted + sold by companies that profited while avoiding responsibility for the damage.
In 2016, Heede showed that just 90 companies were responsible for 2/3 of carbon emissions since 1850.

Just 90 companies are to blame for most climate change, this 'carbon accountant' says
