I mean that seems entirely intuitive. Most income flows involve emissions.

So the highest income have the highest emissions from income flows.

Did the authors somehow think this wasn’t true?

"Top X% of earners/producers responsible for the top Y% of production/expenditures/consumption" is a whole genre.

It's great because the top 10% are bad and the rest of us are good.

I'll hide under my bed (where I recycle my straw wrappers) if you show me global numbers.
