Meet the gini coefficient: the gini coefficient, steps, collect income data for a given population, sort data from poorest to richest, divide into 10 equal segments. In a perfectly equal society, the poorest 10% (share of the population) owns 10% of the wealth, poorest 20% owns. 20% of the wealth, and so on: best represented graphically, plot the line of perfect equality. Ice ages may not be possible until carbon is re-sequestered (millions of years: climate change, significant and persistent change in the mean state of the climate and its. These gases help keep ea(cid:396)th(cid:859)s surface warmer than would otherwise be the case so more co2, higher te(cid:373)pe(cid:396)atu(cid:396)es : co2 partially closes the atmospheric window (keeps earth warm, an old idea!
