This report only deals with "lifestyle related emissions", not total emissions.

A large percentage of emissions is transportation, manufacturing, heating and electricity.

While the rich will consume more, the effect on total emissions is much lower.

True. And to be honest I am not sure how lifestyle emissions are calculated. Does it include the cost of manufacturing and bringing goods to the market? Can't we argue that most emissions are ultimately lifestyle related?
