5/5 economic development is possible no matter where you start from.
Just look at South Korea.
Therefore even Nordhaus’ tax solution sounds foolish at best.
Spread development not cash.

4/5 at planetary level.
On the other hand it’s a known truism that economic development protects from climate changes and from malaria, malnutrition and preventable diseases and even from killer fumes. Plus, …

3/5 ability to spend $100B and we have not, we should feel a failure of a species.

2/5 other issues with people dying from malaria or malnutrition or preventable diseases. Untold numbers of young children are killed every year by the fumes of unbelievably primitive fires lit in cramped, almost windowless very poor abodes.

1/5 Economist Nordhaus got a Nobel Prize by estimating an annual optimal cost of $100B a year for combating climate change.
$100B is a lot of money and a lot of money attracts Corruption with capital C. Sounds totally unfeasible.
Besides we’ve got …

4/5 imagine Spaniards, Germans and Lithuanians together, or meet fellow Muslims in the street pretending they will be brotherly friends, or spend a month celebrating the achievement of people seldom mentioned 11 months a year.

3/5 with Uganda or the Caribbean or Southern Africa.
Most activists speak without being anyone’s proxy. They have no political power beyond what the money thrown their way in the shadow will provide.

2/5 no worldwide Islamism. If you keep track of what people, governments and scholars do, it becomes doubtful that they even belong to the same religion.

The UK might be inadvertently demonstrating that #NetZero be a possibility only for the very rich who don’t mind draining their economic resources.
This will convince all the non-rich countries to stay away from Net Zero. Leadership does not necessarily set examples to follow.— Valerius Ander (MM) – Omnologos (@omnologos)
