The world’s richest 1% have used up their fair share of carbon emissions just 10 days into 2026, analysis has found.
Meanwhile, the richest 0.1% took just three days to exhaust their annual carbon budget, according to the research by Oxfam.
The charity said the worst effects of the emissions would be faced by those who had done the least to cause the climate crisis,
The MythBusters did that one, obviously the info is a bit out of date now but IIRC over the three decades of models they tested they found that motorcycles, while more fuel efficient per mile, have none of the pollution controls of cars so they put out more emissions per mile than the average car of the same age.
Those guys were awesome, that’s a solid thing to look into
