In this study, responsible means owning the industries that cause global warming.
But it doesn't actually say much about warming, it is just a proxy for wealth inequality.
According to [1], "In the first quarter of 2024, almost two-thirds percent of the total wealth in the United States was owned by the top 10 percent of earners". Unsurprisingly, it is the same distribution: it just means those who own 2/3 of the world also own 2/3 of emissions, it means the top 10% make the same type of investment as the bottom 90% when it comes to warming.
By that logic, it is probably also the case that the richest 10% are responsible for 2/3 of what goes into fighting climate change.
