The habits of the top 1% and .01 % cause disproportionately more carbon emissions and if left uncontrolled, global warming would be unsustainable at2.9 Celsius.
There’s reason to impose a wealth tax on their lifestyle choices now. 2.5-5% of total assets have been proposed.
At the rate our climate is warming, it’s everyone’s responsibility to change behavior and curtail carbon emissions.
Taxing the wealthy proportionately is a start and would allow the rest of us an opportunity to mitigate climate crisis and reduce emissions and increase our lifespan.
