If nothing else, the Welsh experiment suggests we can take entirely practical steps to promote intergenerational justice, reduce the negative impacts of climate change on young people right now and avert a climate catastrophe threatening our children who are yet to be born.

It may feel like turning around the Titanic, but it must be done

Climate change is a crisis of intergenerational justice. It’s not too late to make it right

The changing climate doesn’t just threaten younger people in the distant future, it’s happening now at a massive scale. But we can turn it around.

@Snoro They’re wrong that we can’t quantify “wellbeing” or “material risk.” A small Universal Energy Tax (UET) makes inefficiency visible. Measure energy cost vs. benefit returned. You use it, you pay the tax. It’s math—AI does math, humans judge value. Using CA’s gas tax (88¢/gal) ≈ 2.6¢/kWh, applied to all energy, funds high-efficiency and conservation projects—fair, measurable, universal. It makes conservation and efficiency at home, on the road, in the office, &in the factory the #1priority.
