There is an alternative to climate breakdown, political extremism, and economic tensions.

A set of bold policy proposals, including hefty wealth taxes on billionaires, sharp reductions in working hours, a change in diets and a shift of investment from materially intense sectors, such as industry and mining, to education and health.

If these and other measures are taken the incomes of 89% of the world’s population would double by 2100 and global heating would be kept below 2C (3.6F) over the preindustrial average.

This vision provides a positive alternative to the grim projections from far-right techno extractivists, nationalists and billionaires who claim the future will inevitably bring more fossil fuels, climate disruption and inequality.

@gclef This is what brings me #hope. We already have solutions, now we can try to live them locally and demand them on political level.
At the moment, the backlash to fascist death cults may seem to be overwhelming, but the number of people who want a positive change grows from day to day. I see politicians thinking about #taxTheRich who would never had this idea before. But we must become louder for the good!
