Recognizing outright that several here are not posting in good faith, this entire discussion is an excellent example of how correlations and averages can lead you to some false assumptions.
Yes, there's a strong
correlation between wealth and carbon emissions, but having money doesn't cause an increase in CO2, and critically not all wealthy people have the same massive carbon footprint. (Just as it's also true that many lower-income individuals can have an outsized carbon footprint). If you have trouble conceptualizing this, consider what would happen if you gave an environmentally-conscious mustachian a few extra million $. Would s/he automatically become one of the most polluting people on the planet? Of course not. Sure, their carbon footprint might increase modestly, but not the orders of magnitude that some are predicting from a correlation. It's even entirely possible for that (already eco-minded) person's impact to go down, as it will open up opportunities like going net-zero or gobbling up land to put into conservation/
It gets even more convoluted because increased wealth is
correlated with decreased family size. If we want to curb our global population, the three best ways of doing so are through women's education, raising people out of poverty and improving basic health services. Which means if we are convinced that our fundamental problem is too many humans, we ought to work hard to raise as many people out of poverty and get them to live longer (which the correlationists say will increase their carbon-footprint by an order of magnitude or more).
So rather than make ill-informed extrapolations (Kill the rich! No, just the Americans! Or sterilize entire segments of the global population!!) we can acknowledge that correlations isn't causation, and instead use those trends to inform us on how we can manage these challenges going forward. For example, it's clear from the data
@PDXTabs imbedded that some developed countries have far lower emissions than others. At an individual level it's also clear that there's an absolutely massive range in carbon emissions among the very wealthy. How can we shift the most problematic while continuing to make progress on even the relatively 'green' countries and individuals.
