Greenhouse gas emissions don't exist to make the earth cooler in general; or in the long run; it exists to make existing residents of Earth richer. It is intended to make the earth warmer for others (future Earth entrants). It is redistributive in that it heats the earth for future, richer, more technologically advanced populations that will be more equipped to handle the heat and runaway warming, while allowing more wealth accumulation for the less technologically advanced (and thus more deserving) current human society. yes, in very much the same way as climate - destroying what exists (affordable housing) in order to benefit incumbents is bad politics, bad policy, and bad ethically. nevermind that, looking at the poll, most indicate that rent controlled apartments fall into the hands of the rich anyways - who then are protected from poorer renting populations moving in.
