If it's this hard to get political consensus on carbon neutrality, degrowth will be quite the tall order. The reactive pushback against it could do more harm than good. If the political left starts going against the "jobs" narrative and actively pushes against economic growth, there's just no practical way to win an election like that.
Instead of degrowth, what about just taxing high-income conspicuous consumption, for example a tax on luxury cars, boats.
