If your whole statement is we shouldn’t try to solve global warming because some people are rich
I don’t think that’s what they’re saying at all. Any solution to climate change is incomplete if it doesn’t also address inequality and overconsumption
Well, one version of ‘solving inequality’ would be making sure the other 99% create as much emissions as that 1%, which taking your statistics at face value would be a massive bump in emissions.

Not just incomplete. You probably need to start with inequality. 25% of global emissions are created by the richest 1%. 50% by the richest 10%
