Putting a coin sized hole in the head of the top 10% of US earners would do more to combat climate change than any reasonable let alone possible government agreement and cooperation between the US and anyone else period.
As cathartic as that would be, the exact opposite is true. If Jeff Bezos croaks today they don't shut Amazon down, they just hire a new CEO and keep going. It's the definition of a systemic problem.
I mean top 10% is a LOT of people. That's 35 million Americans lmao. Wiping out the entire ruling class of America at once would indeed fix many problems because it's be such a sudden thing, but it would all fall into chaos if there wasn't a revolutionary party there ready to seize power

I think the idea isn't that they would just be randomly dying, it would be a warning to the rest of them

This is proven by the fact that Jeff bezos isn’t even the CEO anymore, it’s some other random guy and nothing has changed.
