本文介绍了来自加拿大阿尔伯塔省家庭的调查数据，研究了收入与碳足迹之间的关系。使用多变量统计来仔细检查收入的作用，数据显示家庭碳足迹的组成和规模存在显著的不相称性。结果显示，家庭能源消耗（供暖、烹饪、制冷）占平均足迹的一半，汽车运输贡献了30%，航空旅行贡献了15%。在线性多元回归模型中，除其他变量外，家庭碳足迹规模与收入呈正相关。收入最高的五分之一家庭的碳足迹是收入最低的五分之一家庭的2.2倍。
This article presents survey data from households in Alberta, Canada, examining the relationship between income and carbon footprint. Using multivariate statistics to scrutinize the role of income, the data demonstrate substantial disproportionality in the composition and size of household carbon footprints. Results show that household energy consumption (heating, cooking, cooling) comprises half of the average footprint, with automobile transportation contributing 30% and air travel another 15%. In a linear multiple regression model, the size of household carbon footprints is positively associated with income, in addition to other variables. The highest income quintile has household carbon footprints 2.2 times greater than the lowest income quintile.
