- wyre 6y agoI didn’t read this article but a Guardian article about the same thing mentions the top 10% accounting for 52% of emissions. Bit more drastic than Pareto.
- sokoloff 6y agoBy Pareto, I would expect the top 20% of the top 20% to be responsible for 80% of the top 20% outcomes (which are 80% of total). That would imply that the top 4% would account for 64% of outcome under discussion, which is much more drastic than the top 10% accounting for only 52% of total.
