> The Moneyed classes have never given up anything willingly: the end of monarchy, the end of slavery and even labour laws were won in blood. Its likely to be the same with climate change This seems to be a very valid observation. However, it's worth noting that with respect to climate change, it's nto about some mystical "0.1%" but rather in this case the "moneyed classes" include the vast majority of the first world citizens, which (as you state) are very unlikely to give up their privilege willingly unless the "global south", who will suffer the worst parts of the climate change first, would win that concession through blood. However, as a counterpoint, nuclear weapons do act as a reasonably effective veto in conflict escalation.
