    “In the United States (EU27), the top 10% contribute 3.1 (2.8) times more to global warming than the average citizen, but 17 (8) times more than the global average”

    Top 10% is a salary about $155,000 for an individual or $210,000 for US household. Obviously industrialized countries like China, US, India, Russia, etc admit much higher than the global average.

    Please state your approx. income and country so we judge you now.

        It says average salary for a permanent UK professor is around 85k pounds. Top 10% can be as high as 115,000 pounds, but it varies greatly on where you live.

      I’m from Brazil, and my household (2 people) gets a total of 3200 of local currency (brl) per month, which is 38400 per year, equivalent to about 7470 usd per year. For refecence, the monthly average per capita here is 2264 brl.

        Top 10% in Brazil is estimated to be 8k a month but you would probably have more insight than an Internet search so I would appreciate your opinion on that.

        What I think is interesting is the assumption that many people you would think aren’t in the 10% and how high the 10% actually is. I am sure looking at the top 1% would be an even more extreme version of this.
