Can we talk about how climate change disproportionately affects poc yet? Those least affected hold a possessive ownership over the concept.

A fair solution might be a CO2 tax levied at source, with proceeds distributed world-wide on a per-capita basis.
-
Nah. Carbon tax only perpetuates inequity by giving everyone money, including the least affected.
-
Hmm, based on current consumption of energy, what I proposed would lead to massive redistribution of wealth toward those most affected...
-
I may have misunderstood your response. That said, carbon tax is a so-called solution proposed by white people that decenters poc.

How is an extra $200 a year a solution for those of us with asthma who live next to oil refineries? It's not.
-
U r right. What I'm proposing would address global climate change and global inequality. Local inequality is a different matter.
-
Ok, forget refineries. How's a carbon tax supposed to help people of color here in Texas and Florida who are dying from these hurricanes?
-
It won't. What I'm proposing would help prevent global climate change, and also give more money to poor countries so they can cope.

In terms of emissions. To the extent that it is no longer sufficient for those responsible for most of damage till now to stop.

I guess what I'm trying to say that we all have to own the solution. Or the inequality you refer to will get even worse.
