It’s good that Oxfam analyses and publicises such data - for too long global comparisons focused on national average per-capita. However, maybe even 1% is too large a group that obscures the diversity within - I guess the 77m people (int that analysis) include many relatively old people who are nominally wealthy by owning a house in an expensive city, but don’t (any longer?) travel much. Heating such houses emits some tons, but not 76tCO2/yr, a figure which must be pushed way up by the fewer jet-set types.
Are you worried to have your name as your screen name?
“regulate corporations and investors to limit their emissions” cool, so the entire “10 days” hinges on “a rich dude has a huge company that hires 8000 people, let’s count the emissions from every single one as the CEOs fault”.
