World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You are probably one of the wealthiest 10%.
It's like calling a high school gym teacher a "professional athlete" or someone with an associate degree 'Highly educated."
I know a nurse who flies ten times a year. All her trips combined don't add up to the fuel a private jet burns on one trip.
Moreover, she'd happliy use high speed rail if that were an option.
Flying once very likely puts you in that top 10%. Remember, the bottom 50% are subsistence farmers from Africa etc. living on like $1000/year.
probably.
That's not as true as it used to be...
And that shows that even the top 10% isn't a problem.
It's not like any group is perfect, the poorest in India and China still use very inefficient coal stoves/heaters, some even use dung. That has an oversized effect on glacier melt due to particulate deposit which goes on to exacerbate climate change.
It makes zero sense to try and start with normal first world citizens while ignoring it still literally doesn't matter because the wealthiest are doing so much.
Like, putting it the average first world citizen to make them feel like that could fix it is literally fossil fuel propaganda...
Did you know that when you repeated it?
Not just with emissions but plastic recycling too:
https://climateintegrity.org/news/view/not-just-climate-big-oil-lied-about-plastic-recycling-too-and-must-be-held-accountable
Best case scenario here. You've fallen head over heels for corporate propaganda...
2.9C is still really bad though, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
That it's less than half of the 1% and less that a fourth of the 0.1%...
What I didn't go I to was a lot of what's counting against the top 50% is global shipping, which these days they have no control over.
People in the first world buying cheap plastic junk made in the third world aren't doing it because it's cheaper, these days it's still expensive and often the only available option.
Like, why are people having difficulty in 2025 understanding that this shit is just so the 99% fight each other instead of uniting against the people who are actually the problem?
You misunderstand these values. The say "if everyone would pollute, like the top ..." But when you have 10 people emitting 1% of all emissions and 1000 people emitting 10% of all emissions, you wont get the emissions down to a sustainable level, unless you also address the emissions of the 1000 people.
It doesn't matter for the climate change, who or how many people emit, just how much it is in total. I agree that those who emit disproportionately also need to pay more to fix it.
Kthnx but what I said is factually correct w.r.t. the article.
If you have a problem with the use of the 10% grouping then take it up with the authors of the paper.
