Who is reading this without being part of the 10%?

According to this study, an income of $38,000/year puts you in the top 10% of carbon emitters. This study puts it at €42,980, or about $50K USD. That's a little higher than the median income in N. America, Europe, and Australia.

That said, carbon emissions are just one way humans impact the environment; other facets are far less variable (we all produce about the same amount of human waste per day, for example).

what's the cutoff to be in the 90%?

[-] plyth@feddit.org 10 points 4 months ago

Wealth distribution pyramid has $100,000 as limit to top 7.7%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth

So $90,000 could be the cutoff.

Of course students don't have that. However I would include anybody into the top 10% who will own $100,000 at one point in their life which should be anybody with real estate or a private pension plan in the West.
