I'm not sure I understand. The chart you link to shows that the top 10% produce ~90% of CO2, but says nothing about the impact of population reduction on that dynamic. Are you assuming those individuals will be untouchable or just saying that reducing lifestyle emissions among that group is more effective?
- omegaworks 8y agoIf you culled randomly, "thanos style" as the original poster describes, you would eliminate about 50% of the population in each subgroup. When only the top 10% subgroup contributes about 50% of the emissions, you will only eliminate 5% of the emissions, with half the population gone. In reality, eugenics programs cull from the people considered "undesirable" by the elite in a society. The bottom 90% in that chart would likely be targeted and so the impact you'd have on the environmental problem would be even further limited.
