    Guaranteed the top 1% of Kenyans produce more emissions than the bottom 60% of Kenyans and the bottom 60% of Americans. One super rich person with a jet can produce literally tons more emissions than a normal person without one. Kenyan elite aren’t somehow less wasteful emitters because their country has overall less emissions.

      Except if you actually read the article you would see that in a place like kenya the cut off was 40k for their calculations. I dont remember private jets going for that low. Hence my reaction.

      Edit: you can downvote me or alternatively you can just read the article lmao
