      What is the estimate for the rest 90%? How is that calculated?

        estimates environmental damage at $1.7 to $5.7 trillion

        That’s a very large range. But is has no context. Is this a lot or a little? What’s the total damage estimate? What the estimate for the other 90% of people?
