I would wager that most airline pilots find themselves in the top 10% in terms of wealth and/or income. Are all the emissions of the planes they fly figured into the calculation for this study?
I was having trouble following what is being calculated.

Edit: or are they considering the entity that owns the fuel that’s being burned? But the whole issue is that the carbon is an externality of other economic processes. I could offer to accept ownership of all carbon emitted by any company for a nominal fee and become the world’s only polluter according to that methodology.
