How is that a silver bullet? If you want to vastly reduce their activities that's an enormous undertaking that would fundamentally remake society, and you have to figure out how to do so without (further) fucking over developing countries. If you want to tax the hell out of them and use that money to fight climate change, again, that's an enormous undertaking, and now we're not talking about reducing emissions so much as we're talking about semi-speculative projects to offset or recapture those emissions.
The "100 companies are responsible for 70% of emissions" figure is a great way to direct the conversation at the major culprits, but that's just describing the problem more clearly -- it's not a solution, much less a silver bullet.
100 companies are responsible for 70% of all carbon emissions so uh
