Europe’s climate change-minded parties performed poorly in the European Union elections. Is the once ambitious European green movement over, or could its electoral crash launch a rebirth?
I agree. To many are happy to think its somebody else’s fault and that “our children will pay for me”.
Another hurdle, and nobody likes to admit it, is that a whole lot of the emissions stem from the wants and needs of the people. Not the wealth in itself. So the responsibility falls differently than the wealth distribution.
Make no mistake, We need to be better at taxing wealth, with all it’s unwanted social and economic effects and disregard for the ecological ones, but it might prove trickier than expected.
