Tyndall Center Director Anderson: Rapid Emissions Reduction Hard: 4-6C Far, Far Worse

[NoOneMan]

33. "The 1% hoards and MORE energy gets used."

Thats basically supply-side economics; the notion that large, but few, concentrations of wealth result in a greater velocity of wealth (iow energy) amongst a population (thereby raising the wealth of the entire population).

In reality, more hoarding and disparity throttles economic growth and energy consumption, thereby creating a bizarre contradiction among liberals who fight for climate change.

Im not saying economic justice and energy conservation cannot occur in tandem, but showing that current economic models put the two at odds when examining just the notion of disparity.

BTW, I think life would be pretty damn hard with these predicted temperatures. When droughts set in and rivers become too warm to incubate fish (that bring in nutrients from the oceans), there will be nothing to eat for at least half the worlds population; ecosystems are beginning to breakdown already. It is not going to be pretty.
