However, participants from the top 10% were more likely to support certain climate policies, such as increasing the price of electricity during peak periods, taxing red meat consumption or subsidising carbon dioxide removal technologies such as carbon capture and storage.
I bet they are. Regulation impacts everybody equally. So if you have a poor person who is responsible for 1% of the emissions compared to a rich person increased regulation applies to each of them in the same way, for example paying more for a hamburger. That is not disruptive or consequential for the rich person either financially or in their emission footprint and they get to feel good about making the world cleaner.
