Fig. 6: Country-level per capita greenhouse gas emissions54 related to population exposed to unprecedented heat (MAT ≥29 °C) at 2.7 °C global warming (Fig. 5a) and poverty rate80.

From: Quantifying the human cost of global warming

Fig. 6

Solid lines show the median (50% quantile) and dashed lines show the 25% and 75% quantiles for emissions and heat exposure. Points are coloured by quartile of the poverty rate distribution, where poverty rate is defined as the percentage of national population below the US$1.90 poverty line. The density plots at the bottom show the distribution of emissions per capita for each poverty rate quartile.
