The poorer half of the world population emit 14% of global CO2 emissions.
The richest half are responsible for the remaining 86 percent all CO2 emissions.

What percent of wealth does the richer half generate? I.e. what's the ratio of average GDP/emissions for each half?

Good point. How do CO2 emissions correlate with production of goods? I'd guess pretty high.

One example: Who gets credited with the value generated plus emissions of an airline, the customers, employees, or shareholders? All benefit. (Glad I'm not an economist)

Good question. Nonetheless, I think you should consider the fact that the poorer half is subsidizing a negative externality to the rest of the world despite the ratio mentioned

The GDP / emissions ratio (‘emissions intensity’) over the incomes of countries around the world looks like this. Low emissions per unit of prosperity for the richest and poorest and high for middle income countries.

Two things: 1. Direct GHG emissions/GDP: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PP.GD … 2. The first one doesn’t include indirect emissions of imports & exports (that are also significant) http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aae19a …
