There are about 3000 billionaires. So their emissions account for 3 billion average persons.
Its like the population of earth is 11 billion ppl instead of 8.
I was curious about the wording in the headline, which could be taken to mean that billionaires collectively equal the emissions of one million people.
But nope, the article does confirm in its first line that it’s a million per billionaire. They go on to describe that lifestyle alone would leave billionaires at the “thousands of times more” level, but the proportional effects of the entities they have investments in is what takes them to a million.
