Found it! (Thanks @[email protected])
If the world's richest 10% reduced their carbon footprint to the EU mean, carbon emissions would fall by 32%.
Did not rtfa, but I would guess private jets.almost exclusively. Air travel even in a traditional passenger jet is incredibly carbon intense, even splitting the emissions by 300 or so.
So a) they travel by air far more than avergae, and b) they’re doing so in private aircraft.
But we could also rtfa.
edit: saw the original ?toot?. there is no fa. but there was another figure that confirmed, it’s yachts. not even planes. mfing yachts. How much yachting can you possibly be doing as an individual to make that size of a carbon footprint?
Even swapping private planes to passenger ones could save a boatload in carbon emissions. If giving up flying entirely is too much, then at least the regular option would be a lot better.

Those are some big boats. Mr Abramovich’s boat is >160m long. Think of driving around in an apartment complex.
Aviation is only about 2% of the whole CO2 emissions worldwide.
Over 60% of emissions come from things like transport of goods and people using cars, heating/cooling of homes, industry (iron/steel, chemical/petrochemical, …) and so on.
70% of annual emissions come from outside of USA and Europe. Cumulatively USA and EU still dominate.
