It’s a strange accounting method, that almost completely reflects wealth distribution and ignores carbon.

For instance, you might say childhood obesity is a problem, then measure people’s investments in fast food as a measure of their contribution to the problem. And find that it’s the same people at fault, at almost the exact same percentage!
