Personally, I call BS.

The report itself is fine, but the article is misleading, sort of implying that it's those billionaire's lifestyles that are ruining the climate for everyone else. But only in the end, it outlines, _how_ they do it, arguably with less attention than it deserves.

Having read the report, the overwhelming proportion of CO2 is generated with so-called "Polluting shares", basically, stock in polluting companies.

Guess what, that means we need to adress those companies' CO2 output, not private jets and yachts. That makes solving said problem a whole lot more complicated than eating the rich, though.

Those are out of sight out of mind companies As long as those rare earth mines are in Africa and they are assembled in China it doesn't count as environmental damage. It's only if those mines or factories are in our country do we need to shut them down for the sake of the Earth

Africa produces 0.32% or the annual supply of rare earth metals, and nearly all of it comes from Madagascar, and it is a Chinese owned mine.
