#ClimateDiary read yesterday’s “How do we raise trillions of dollars to fight the climate crisis? The answer is staring us in the face” by #GordonBrown just now ( ❤️ paper version = catch up) and really would like to spread his message: we need a global #WindfallTax on #PetrolProfits. This needs to be the tangible outcome of #COP28 we should all campaign for. Put so well here by Gordon Brown. #aclimateEmergency

@pvonhellermannn there need to be caps on wages and wealth. They can be high but any overages should go towards the climate crisis. Wealth from climate destruction gets much lower caps. The 1% got us in to this, they need to help fix it.
