Agree. Some people have modeled this, and attributed emissions back to household consumption: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289373031_Environmental_

  Thanks - that looks like an interesting read, but the abstract reads roughly as I'd assumed: "The wealthier the area, the more the impact." I remain generally annoyed at people who go on and on about how important stopping climate change is, as long as someone else does it. That the most anyone could be expected to do is vote some way or another, every 2/4 years... that's a "I want to be seen caring about it but don't actually care that much" sort of answer. If you're earning tech money and car about climate change, there are a lot of things you can do. They just involve "not spending all your money on luxury toys and huge houses."

  The only fair way is to attribute some to the purchaser and some to the seller. Both parties have benefited from the transaction and neither party has paid the associated social cost.
