What would happen if the richest 10% reduced their CO2 emissions to the EU average (which BTW is a nice standard of living).
Answer, there would be a 35% decrease in global CO2 emissions.
So, all would be fixed, if we could limit the excesses of the top 10%.
@MarkHoltom "all would be fixed"= nothing would be fixed.
If you have a burning house like we have a planet in a climate crises fueled by burning fossil stuff, cutting down global emissions by 32% is like putting out 35% of the flames.
The house is still burning. Even if we put out all flames nothing is fixed yet nor is it a complete solution to the problem in the first place.
