    I’m not out if line at all.

    People underestimate how few billionaires there are and how many average people there are.

    Average people do more damage than billionaires.

    Do your calculations but times it by number of average people and number of billionaires. Which is the point I have directly mentioned in each and every post.

      No. First of all there are a lot of billionaires and orders of magnitude more almost-billionaires with the means to do that kind of damage. In second place this is just jets which are used to go straight from a place to another, but yatches are way less efficient and are used to roam freely so overall they pollute much more. And these are only two of the thousand things the rich do that create infinite pollution. But of course let’s focus on straws.
