In our high-risk-project in 2020, w/ only 222Gt CO2 left for what IPCC calls "1.5C", reduction amount &speed must be predictable, not based on "thoughts &prayers" or voluntary action &nudging.

Going forward, price-thinking perpetuates the delusion of having 3 earths to exploit.
Price-thinking is based on assuming CO2(eq) r a luxury item like a yacht or caviar.
But it& #39;s not. The amount essential for a relatively good life for all 7.5bn people -in our reduction phase now as well as after migrating to RE- leaves nothing for selling CO2 rights to richer ppl
CO2e isn& #39;t a commodity that can be traded w/, nor can the amount needed for basic! human life be further cut to allow others more CO2e. There simply is no surplus.

A decision where CO2e can be emitted therefore can& #39;t be left to those who can afford it.
Common good must decide.
