There is an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism, and economic tensions. A set of bold policy proposals, including hefty wealth taxes on billionaires, sharp reductions in working hours, a change in diets and a shift of investment from materially intense sectors, such as industry and mining, to education and health. If these and other measures are taken the incomes of 89% of the world’s population would double by 2100 and global heating would be kept below 2C (3.6F) over the preindustrial average. This vision provides a positive alternative to the grim projections from far-right techno extractivists, nationalists and billionaires who claim the future will inevitably bring more fossil fuels, climate disruption and inequality. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/04/world-inequality-lab-equality-academics-planetary-survival #Earth #ClimateDiary #GreenEnergy #FossilFuels #Climate #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ClimateCrisis #Nature #Science #TaxBillionaires #NoPlanetB #Economics #Politics #Health #Equality
