The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%.
And the gap is growing.
Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

Future changes in severe hail across Europe, including regional emergence of warm-type thunderstorms - Nature Communications
This study finds a decrease in severe hail across Europe under a high emissions scenario using km-scale climate model projections. However, very large hail remains a threat, particularly due to the emergence of tropical-like thunderstorms around the Mediterranean coasts.
