It says that the top 1% makes 140k USD....

The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year

Lemmy probably has a disproportionate number of tech bros who make that or more, but that's wayyy out of reach at least for most Americans.
