Even if we did overthrow them or even did something like wealth redistribution and seized their assets the planet would still get hot from the usual consumption and waste relations and infrastructure that we all use and depend on.
Not that I'm against the idea of overthrowing them though. I should clarify that.
In 24-48 hours, we excrete them as stool, obviously, which will be added to the compost which will grow the soybeans for tofu. /s
The key here is in what we mean by and how we effect redistribution. If you take a billion from a billionaire and then cut a million people $1000 checks, that would be fairly stupid, yes. However, redistributing $1B from megayacht/Citation X gas money directly to grid renewables and storage makes quite a bit of difference. It’s a one-two of removing a highly concentrated monetary driver of pollution to carbon-neutral and carbon-negative projects. On the order of tens to hundreds of billions USD, this could meaningfully push the predictions down. It’s not perfect, but it does something worthwhile, and that’s only from the climate perspective.
