I feel its simple to say "It's not that simple" whilst not trying to show an alternative.
Any solution is going to have downsides. For right or wrong, it doesn't seem realistic to make some solution where a wealthy upper echelons take all or even the majority of the weigh of a global problem.
Most of the world is low income, and you need to bring in the mass market for change. And there will be issues for sure but if you dont force change across the entire market little will change. Like do you expect we make a rule where people below $20k income to keep using petrol cars without any new cost but everyone else goes electric? Bad example? Maybe some proportional carbon/GHG tax system? Doing that at an individual level would be very difficult.
Id love to be wrong but I dont see a solution where we make global changes of any real significance and dont effect low income people, which is much of the world. Do you?
