Cutting down on billionaires would do a lot more for the environment

seriously let's fucking send all the jets and motor yachts to the bin before we start telling the common man things are his fucking fault

Both things can be true at the same time.

Billionaires / the 1% / whatever category of rich assholes you choose obviously use much more resources than "the common man". Still, if we, as humanity, do not change how and what we consume, cutting what the rich use would not even remotely be enough.
