The richer 50% of the world population causes more than 95% of climate change damage. This includes everyone who has a net worth including home & possessions of $4210 or £3250 = more than 90% of UK population. We hear the word ‘rich’ and we need to think ‘us’. We are the richest 10%. And these are the mean averages - by comparison the median house price in the UK is over £300,000 and people with property above that value also have investments, pensions, second homes etc. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/bulletins/totalwealthingreatbritain/april2018tomarch2020#total-wealth-in-great-britain-data
