Reply to comment by Guamdiggity in [OC] Gobal CO2 emission per income group 1750-2021 by albymana

Two suggestions:

  1. Organize your key to be in order of income bracket, not alphabetical.

  2. Overlay total CO2 emissions over the same period for context. (Or better yet use a different visualization like an animated bar chart over time with total contribution per population group.)

  3. It’s percent, not per cent.

Also to everyone questioning the validity of the data because it doesn’t fit your world view - go to a different sub. Early Industrial Revolution, the factories covering London and other major cities in pollution were owned by the richest people. As time moves on, CO2 emissions become the Everyman’s contribution via personal vehicles and the like. That’s why total emissions over the same period would add context to this graph.

That said, another possible context could be car ownership per capita.
