This entire problem is based on multiplicity. Ultimately it's about carbon emissions. But now we have to get into specifics in order to argue, and I doubt you nor I have the time for it.

I can't say that you or I are correct or not. But my intuition says that there are way too few of the wealthy in comparison to the millions who contribute. And just how many trips to Disneyland equals a new house and a yacht is to be discovered.

But this isn't about comparison. This is an absolute problem. It's sort of like war. If someone kills a million people does it make it ok for me to kill just one. The problem is that if all carbon emissions stopped today, we would remain at 400 PPM of CO2 concentration for quite some time.
