This may seem a bold and somewhat handwavey claim, but this paper https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-025-02325-x did a more in-depth analysis and concludes that 10% wealthiest people of the world contributed 66% of the emissions. Because it is a Pareto distribution, the 1.1% will therefore be responsible for the majority of those emissions, at least 33% (using the 80:20 rule, 2% would contribute 53%).
