It actually would be better if the 1% earned even more. They are the only group that really has any motivation to fix the environment.
The rest of us spend and try to claw our way ahead. How many of you are worried about CO2 production? Yet I very much doubt you have done much at all to fix the problem, besides some symbolic gesture like buying a fuel efficient car.
The 1% could fix it. And if they became rich enough, they will. If you had so much money you had everything you wanted in the current environment, the only way to improve your life further and those of your descendents would be to improve the environment itself.
I think many people besides the 1% have the motivation to fix the environment. On the other hand, most of us have priorities that are more immediate, like being able to put food on the table. I don't see any other reason people besides the 1% worry any less about the environment..
