Question

a) When income of a household increases, why do their CO2 emissions resulting from food consumed remain the same (do not change)? b) When income of a household increases, the CO2 emissions due to the consumption of services increases by 63%. Why is there such a great change?

Answer 1

A. As a person, it requires certain amount of food daily required for survival and proper functioning.

So it is obvious that if there is a rise in income then there will be the same or even more consumption of food will be there ,so CO2 emissions will remain the same.

As discussed earlier since food is a basic need and cannot be ignored

B. The other scenario can also be there that if there is a rise in income then CO2 emission will be as high as 63% because of various reasons like

1 have more than one car so more fuel combustion.

2.more consumption of food Etc
