Two -thirds of the world’s 10% rich man’s global warming are responsible for the study said
The study shows the relationship between emission inequality based on performance and weather injustice.

10% of the world’s population is the rich in two -thirds of global warming since 1990 and the increase in severe weather events such as heat and dried waves emanating from the weather crisis.
Published in the investigation, magazine Nature climate change And were quoted on Wednesday EFE AgencyThe extent to which different groups and societies contribute to emissions and that the world’s richest 1% is 26 times higher than the world’s average and 17 times more for drought in Amazon.
This task was carried by ETH Zurich (Switzerland), Shows a relationship between emission inequality based on performance and weather injustice, It is revealed that the rich use and investments have an uneven effect on extreme weather events.
These effects “Especially in tropical areas such as Amazon, Southeast Asia and South Africa”It has historically contributed to world emissions.
The study shows that severe weather effects are not only the result of abstract global emissions, But not “They can be connected directly with lifestyle and investment options, which are connected to wealth,” He insisted on ETH Zurich researcher and the main author of the study.
“We have found that the rich bosers play an important role in maintaining weather intensities,” and it is “giving strong support to climate policies with the aim of reducing their emissions,” said Shangart.
“It is important to correct this imbalance”
Using a model that connects financial data and weather simulators, researchers were able to track emissions from various global income groups and assess their contribution to specific weather intensities.
Therefore, emissions from 10% rich in the United States and China population they found them Multiplying the temperature in areas that cause harm to two or three times.
“If everyone has issued 50% of the world’s population, global warming has been low since 1990,” said Carl-Fredric Schlea, Director, Director, Director of IIASA, Integrated Climate Research Group.
“Correcting this imbalance is very important for affordable and effective climate activity,” the researcher recalls.
Oh The study highlights the importance of emissions related to financial investment And it states that focusing on financial flows and files of high income can bring significant climate benefits.
The authors believe that these investigations help to start the tools of progressive policies directed to social elites They also highlight that making great pollutants provides a lot of necessary support for adaptation and damage and harmful countries.
Balance the responsibility of climate action according to actual cooperation to emissions “It is necessary”, Not to have global warming, “But to reach the better and more elastic world”The authors ended.
