Those least affected certainly bear most responsibility, but rest is catching up, and a solution must involve most people. China knows this.

What do you mean when you say "rest is catching up"?

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.

You're doing the exact thing I described in my first tweet. We should probably wrap up here soon. I've wasted too much time here.

Perhaps. But if two people who care about both climate change and inequality cannot communicate, what hope do we have of convincing others?
