Absolutely, I'm not denying we all have an impact... you could get rid of poorest 66% of humankind OR you could get rid of the top 1% to have the exact same impact.
The greatest good comes from the 2nd option.

The problem is, get rid of the 1% and they will be replaced by the next 1%
I actually disagree with this... if there was an actual consequence for over-consuming and the top 1% were punished for it, I think we'd actually see a far more equitable approach from the next 1%... and if not, maybe the next 1% after that.
We are literally talking about the trolley problem here. To heal the atmosphere, you have to choose between terminating 80,000,000 people or 5,280,000,000 people - what do you choose?
