  America’s richest 10% are responsible for 40% of its planet-heating pollution.

  

  They found the wealthiest 10% in the US, households making more than about $178,000, were responsible for 40% of the nation's human-caused, planet-heating pollution. The income of the top 1% alone – households making more than $550,000 – was linked to 15% to 17% of this pollution.

  • In major metros, a $178K household income isn't that much. 90k a person in a two person household isn't that much.FNP14
