Well it Was Bound To Happen.!!!

Actually I think you miss my point, though no matter it was only idle musings.
 
Plenty of rich people have private jets, yachts etc. as a result of having successful companies as well as riches gotten by nefarious means. These people will likely pollute more but don't have the clout to skew whole economies like the likes of the super rich with 10s of billions of $.

The trouble is that these super rich, the likes of Jeff the Amazon guy and Mark the Facebook guy, are pretty much untouchable. No government yet, except the French, has dared to stand up to them. All we can do is hope to get lucky, and wait for them to do the right thing and show some altruism. It's not a great position to be in given that there's so much at stake. There's some hope; Bill Gates seems to have turned to the right side, (cue someone jumping in to contradict me on this point!). Also Elon Musk appears to be championing green technology, but I'm very cynical about that, I don't trust him one little bit. Hopefully I'm wrong.
