Well then maybe each human should be assigned the same carbon budget. Easy peasy. No credits, no loopholes, no special privileges, no exceptions.

“The richest one percent of the global population are responsible for the same amount of carbon emissions as the world's poorest two-thirds, or five billion people, according to an analysis published Sunday by the nonprofit Oxfam International.”

That would cure this whole climate change thing in six months.

As an alternative to carbon budgets, perhaps the 67% should adopt the 1% solution to saving the planet. IE: instead of the 1% "reducing" the 67% as they are so found of championing, flipping that model around would be much faster, easier, cheaper and super efficient. I mean, just Imagine the resource savings disposing of the remains.

Talk about a win-win. Save the planet AND its people.
