Markowitz and Daniel Moran Income-based U.S. household carbon footprints (1990–2019) offer new insights on emissions inequality and climate finance (accessed 2023-09-17), editor(s) Marco Grasso, Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2023-08, PLOS Climate, volume 2, report/number 8, doi:10.1371/journal.pclm.0000190, article/pages e0000190 (article) (BibTeX).

note
[Quote: "We find significant and growing emissions inequality that cuts across economic and racial lines. In 2019, fully 40% of total U.S. emissions were associated with income flows to the highest earning 10% of households. Among the highest earning 1% of households (whose income is linked to 15–17% of national emissions) investment holdings account for 38–43% of their emissions." There are wealthy super-emitters who manage put out as much in 15 days as the bottom 10% of the population does in their entire lifetime.]
