> It doesn't matter if the top polluter has 1 billion, 0.1 billion, or 10 billion people

Each polluter is an individual person making individual decisions.

The thing people are dancing around is any concept of "rationing", because that's political suicide, but at the same time asking people who've only just got clean water and walk to work to reduce emissions while other people are taking multiple transatlantic flights per week looks a bit questionable.

I don’t know who those people are. Also, another way to say rationing is “sharing”.
