> The biggest problem is a political one: You can't fight unemployment and inequality and try to reduce emissions. Why do you believe this is true? It seems to me like many efforts to reduce emissions are also likely to reduce inequality, some also increase employment. For instance: * Make public transport free and increased capacity, good on all three counts * CO2 tax on big emitters will reduce profits of these companies, which are usually high margin industries with few unskilled/low-pay workers * Higher taxes on air travel affect poor people less than rich people * Current trends point towards rich countries committing to subsidise emissions reductions in poor countries
