Yes it seems, but still not very clear...

Britain didn't have 99% of the world wealth/high income people, but produced 99% of it's emissions... So the graph by income is irrelevant?

Pretty sure that's the implication.

How’d you get the data from the website to the graph? Would be neat to see if you could ask ChatGPT for all of the relationships that the characters in friends have had in a relationship graph format that can be put into tableaupublic and see if it can bring back your dataset without you needing to scrape

99% of emissions? Because they were the fist to industrialize?

The trick here is that high income people can purchase emission credits by dumping their emissions responsibility onto someone that produces little to no, or even negative emissions, which lowers their responsible emissions.

Many companies do this. In tech, vehicle manufacturing, oil refineries. Hell, even entire countries does this. It doesn't lower the total emissions, just dumps the responsibility for the emissions onto someone that produces very little emissions, which lowers the purchaser's emission responsibility and increases the seller's responsibility. Usually the seller of the credits only buy up so and so much to avoid paying emissions taxes or getting sanctioned and taxed in other ways.

So the lower classes never used cooking or heating fires? I don’t think this data is accurate.

I also find it interesting how it basically just villainizes the middle class and praises the high-income group. From what I’ve seen of private jets, yachts, huge houses, lavish vacations and unsustainable lifestyles, this graph just doesn’t ring true to me.

Cool!

Now do it with How I Met Your Mother

The story this graph tells me is that of the increasing ability of income groups other than high-income to generate CO2, rather than a decrease in CO2 generation of high-income people.

But it's all still rather ambiguous.

As overall CO2 emissions have changed so much (and non-linearly) over the graph's timespan, this graph doesn't provide much useful information on its own.

Also, without information on the income divisions themselves (are they quartiles by income or by population, or some other division?), it's difficult to interpret.

Kind of works if the income groups are based on percentiles, but it doesn't say so we don't know if this is behavioural change or just a growing middle class.

Solution: All people should have "Low-income".

Oh wait: Then these have 100%.

-> The graph is pretty awful.

I agree. There should be a flair called dataisugly for submissions like this.

They get soft

Joshua is on there, too.

I love your mind and this visualization, such an informative infographic, beautifully placed.

als Deutscher bist du einer dieser global Reichen

Merkel, Hollande and Porochenko admitted that they signed the Minsk accords only to keep the Russians at bay and build up the Ukrainian army and build fortifications in the East. The shelling of civilians continued. They never meant to live up to it. Putin was naive. They had them encircled and could have beaten them in days. Now after 8 years and billions of dollars in equipment and training (all out of altruism and for democracy if course), it’s going to take years and hundreds of thousands of lives. All to prevent a region from getting the independence the majority of people want. I guess the democracy argument only holds for enemies of the empire like Kosovo with Serbia.

graph isn't about classes

dirty production goes to the poorer countries? and becomes less dirty, while they build up their dirty

it's about countries

It's misleading. The total co2 emissions keep increasing, it's only the share produced by high income that decreases. But in value all income classes keep increasing.

graph is about countries

This is about countries. People in the comments think it's about people. Bad communication

This does not mean that the richest produce less co2. Just that the other income groups started producing some too.

Maybe the green is falling because there's less high income earners and they became more middle income earners...I don't know, this graph is missing a lot of information.

FWIW the showrunners and lisa kudrow and matt leblanc have stated so many times that Joey and Phoebe were fwb, it may as well be canon.
