Según un estudio: la gente rica produce más emisiones de carbono. Si eres como yo, probablemente asumes que cuando las personas ricas están solas en sus mansiones alejadas de los ojos mundanos, secretamente caen en un comportamiento ambientalmente irresponsable como beber cappuchinos de petroleo crudo y quemar ballenas para producir calor.

El estudio afirma que el 10 por ciento de la población más rica pesa en el ambiente 2.5 veces más que el diez por ciento de la gente más pobre, principalmente debido a más y más grandes casas y autos, además de viajes aéreos más frecuentes por negocios o placer.
El reporte sugiere que cualquier intento de gravar con impuestos las emisiones de carbono debería ser más enfático con la gente en el nivel superior de la escala de ingresos. Es en este punto donde la política ambiental se vuelve política social, esas cosas siempre resultan ser muy interesantes...
