    I vaguely remember several Aussie forumers saying that kangaroo is tasty if prepared correctly (thin and seared rare? maybe?), but pretty gnarly if done wrong.

    Kangaroo is delicious but yeah it's real lean so if you overcook it it becomes boot leather real fast.

    kangaroo is a pretty great meat but tonight I was trying to describe the taste of zebra to people and I eventually settled on a cross between kangaroo and beef (the rich flavour of roo but with the fatty moistness of cow) and that made me wonder

    ... could we kobe kangaroo?

    I didn't know that but it will be a helpful thing to keep in my backpocket when inevitably the higher powers try to shift blame re: climate change to countries outside the West (in the classical sense).

    Look, the elite aren't just going to take public transportation to Davos to complain about climate change - the private jets and yachts are so they don't have to hobnob with the rest of us.

    that blurb seems I don't know .... wrong?

    are they counting the companies they own, because that's the only way I could see that being correct

    It's not outlandish considering it only means 1 rich person emits as much CO2 as hundred of the poorest people on earth, in fact I would've considered the difference more crass

    Looks like the full report has to be requested. This is the only methods bit included
    An embargoed copy of the media brief ‘Confronting Carbon Inequality’ and the full research report and data on which is it based are available upon request.

    The poorest 50 percent of humanity comprised approximately 3.1 billion people on average between 1990 and 2015, the richest 10 percent comprised approx. 630 million people, the richest 5 percent approx. 315 million people, and the richest one percent approximately 63 million people.

    In 2015, around half the emissions of the richest 10 percent - people with net income over $38,000 - are linked to citizens in the US and the EU and around a fifth with citizens of China and India. Over a third of the emissions of the richest one percent – people with net income over $109,000 - are linked to citizens in the US, with the next biggest contributions from citizens of the Middle East and China. Net incomes are based on income thresholds for 2015 and represented in $ 2011 PPP (purchasing power parity).

    The research is based on estimations of consumption emissions from fossil fuels i.e. emissions consumed within a country including emissions embodied in imports and excluding emissions embodied in exports. National consumption emissions were divided between individual households based on the latest income distribution datasets and a functional relationship between emissions and income. This assumes, on the basis of numerous studies, that emissions rise in proportion to income above a minimum emissions floor and until a maximum emissions ceiling. National household consumption emissions estimates - for 117 countries from 1990 to 2015 - are then sorted into a global distribution according to income. More details on the methodology is available in the research report.

    But honestly, considering how the poorest half of the world live (and HOW poor most of those are) this really doesn’t sound remotely surprising. Like, most of those people are going to be subsistence farming at best.

    I remember it was actually an actual real issue when a year or two ago someone noted that there were multiple social media feeds of anti-ISIS militia Mitsubishi technicals appearing around the same time and the public discourse in the intelligence analysis community was trying to work out if this represented a shift away from Toyota, or if Mitsi had done a deal, or they had used up all the Toyotas, or why they were now running Mitsi technicals.
