This is a most useful and authoritative overview, Doug.  Thank you.

I would add that each of us must be active individually in writing, texting, phoning and trying to engage with the decision-makers. I want to influence them towards implementing actions and expenditure to build a low greenhouse gas emitting society, urgently and, to take wealth from the rich to level up the poor for that eco-socialist society you wrote about.  And, for those with excess wealth to voluntarily part with it to humanitarian and poverty-fighting organisations.

We can even commend the Conservative talk of levelling up as being our sociable eco-socialism of, "from each according to his ability to each according to his need."  This is such a fine principle for especially B Johnson and crew to adopt.

Ecology before economic prosperity; and all are actions subordinated to the urgent imperative of slashing greenhouse gases from fossil fuel burning.

Of being remembered by our descendants as ancestors who DID act to limit the runaway greenhouse effect.

Universal basic income

5 April 2020

If we can give everyone a basic income to provide food, shelter, clothing and a life free of disease, the present state of quiet roads, cleaner air and less economic activity would be quite appealing to me!  Green or ecosocialism.  Equality from fair shares for all.  Levelling out = levelling down for the rich and levelling up for the poor = sustainable or ecosocialism.

Lockdown is meaning a slow down of greenhouse gases and, hence, ecocide.  But many are suffering.  Even more so with resource depletion and a stir crazy climate.  But we have to spend less and get green, ecological growth to reverse ecocide.

Get level with nature
