I went by wrong numbers with this plot. I admitted that. Going by Oxfam, 90% changing altogether will change 50% in consumption-based emissions. Aiming for change in the top 10% is the more effective strategy. Especially since it's not only their consumption that matters but their investment too.

Never said that. It’s just a matter of focusing pressure to change where it has most leverage. Certainly making personal lifestyle changes is a low-hanging fruit. But you can’t blame people into doing so.
If you want to call that hypocritical, be my guest. But you don’t get my approval for anything.

No they haven’t. They consider investments and consumption both separately and in conjunction.
Here’s the graph from consumption only data. Page 6 of the summary document. webassets.oxfamamerica.org/media/docume...

It also states that emissions from their consumption are disproportionately high in total. That is not per capita as you claimed earlier.

Also. But the the report clearly states that they are investing too much in fossil fuels and other CO2-laden industries. So why do you keep blaming activists? Are you a billionaire troll? 😂

You’re right. The graph was poorly chosen. I glanced it over, saw the distribution was skewed like expected and posted it. But the “per person” part is wrong. Hence your calculation does not reflect reality.
Correct numbers can be pulled from the Oxfam Report “Carbon inequality kills”.

Of course they are. There is a direct causal link between every Dollar spent in consumer market and CO2 emissions.

That’s not what I meant. What I meant by don’t care is that we don’t blame.
And yes 90 % of us changing their habits will hardly make a dent in emissions. That’s a sad reality.

We usually don’t care what the individual does unless they are a billionaire.

Then by your own reasoning you‘re hypocrite? Caring about climate but not about fossil fuels?
Why do they have to be vegan? Meat reduction does help with CO2 footprint. It‘s animal rights & morals where reductionism fails. Or do you think anthropic climate change is 80 % due to animal agriculture?

Even if they end up prioritising differently.
Mostly older ones have difficulty making the change. So if you really ask the genuine question „Why not all of them?“ then the simple answer is: „Because they feel it’s hard breaking a lifelong habit.“ Even if the are reasonably motivated“.
