The top 10% of people create something like 50% of the carbon footprint which means 90% of people create the rest of it.

No one’s blameless.

But that also means that if the top 10% cut their consumption by half, we would have blown past the required targets to not have global warming pass 1.5° C, even if the other 90% didn’t change a thing. And they would have still been engaging in massive consumption by anyone else’s standards.

I also they've that a large amount of the bottom 90% are paying the top 10% to do it.

Also the difference between create and consume is important. even if shell only had 1 employee and 1 shareholder, that person would have many customers paying. you can measure both of course.
