I find it hard to believe that the "middle" 49% produce 73% of the emissions, while the top 1% only produce 15%

While I think it's still best for us all to reduce where we can - I also agree that the individual would quickly change their habits if corporations started to charge a sustainable price for their goods instead of leveraging the planets future.

Well, with that numbers the top 1% produces 15x their share of emissions, the 49% produce 1.5x their share of emissions. So the top 1% produce 10x more emissions compared to the middle. Doesn't sound suspicious to me, does it to you?
