Let's try a hypothetical, and look at it from a place outside of altruism and empathy.
In our hypothetical, we have a form of energy production that is responsible for 13% of power, but 56% of pollution. Now, the other 87% of energy production also produces pollution, but with a far greater power:pollution ratio. Let's say your goal is to reduce pollution. Do you target that 13% that is responsible for over half the pollution, or do you target the entire energy sector equally?

Where in my comments did get that I'm against using empirical data about populations? I said the exact opposite.
