    Not sure what you mean by “we”. You need roughly 800k$ to be part of the global 1% (and that was in 2018):

      It says that the top 1% makes 140k USD…

      The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year

        Lemmy probably has a disproportionate number of tech bros who make that or more, but that’s wayyy out of reach at least for most Americans.

        Ah apparently we are all middle class. But if your bank account has over 100k in it, you are suddenly an “elite group” polluter. There is no difference between the tech-bro living in a manhattan apartment and Hyundai Heavy Industries.
