The European countries with the most comprehensive and best quality welfare states all have very broad tax bases as well as universal services - everyone pays in a lot, everyone receives a lot. That is a better model. Trying to shift everything onto "the wealthy" is a destabilising fantasy.

The critical thing is that "gross emissions" go down rapidly, to near zero in 2050 or so, for ~1.5°C. This is how you solve the climate problem.
That green slither of carbon dioxide removal is a nice to have, not a do-or-die requirement.

Finally, a bit of a reality check from our 2024 election book (out soon!) for everyone hyperventilating about collapsing public trust in the BBC - free to air TV (mostly the BBC) is still the most widely consumed and widely trusted source of news - blows print, online & social media out of the water
