Exactly. As much as I am aware that Bezos is probably polluting more in an hour than I do in a year, this kind of phrasing shifts the blame to the wealthier and most of the western world changes nothing to their habits while saying "it's the billionaires fault". The fact that people don't try to cut their own emmissions/waste is directly contributing to that of the wealthiest. People don't want to see themselves as part of the problem.
You're right, for some reasons we see it as "the 10% per country".
If you're from north America or Europe you will very probably end up in the world's 10% at one point in your life.
The fucked up part is that you can be in the 10%, be a part of the problem, and still have a shitty life, because the system is that fucked up.
