Putting a coin sized hole in the head of the top 10% of US earners would do more to combat climate change than any reasonable let alone possible government agreement and cooperation between the US and anyone else period.

I saw this new study going around, don't know if someone else already posted here, I even thought about posting it myself but fucking doomerism preaching to the choir.

Income-based U.S. household carbon footprints (1990–2019) offer new insights on emissions inequality and climate finance

In 2019, fully 40% of total U.S. emissions were associated with income flows to the highest earning 10% of households. Among the highest earning 1% of households (whose income is linked to 15–17% of national emissions) investment holdings account for 38–43% of their emissions. Even when allowing for a considerable range of investment strategies, passive income accruing to this group is a major factor shaping the U.S. emissions distribution. Results suggest an alternative income or shareholder-based carbon tax, focused on investments, may have equity advantages over traditional consumer-facing cap-and-trade or carbon tax options and be a useful policy tool to encourage decarbonization while raising revenue for climate finance.

I say holes, lots and lots of holes, until that happens fuck these sucdem lib shitters.
