Global Carbon Tax and Global Wealth Tax to help tackle Global Warming and Inequality

The Issue

The OECD recently came together to agree on a minimum global corporate tax rate, we can do the same for a harmonized Carbon Tax and Wealth Tax.

See links below to persuasive arguments from Elon Musk (Carbon Tax) and George Monbiot (Wealth Tax), for tackling global warming.  We need both.

Global Warming is a global problem, and we need global solutions.  Without an agreed upon Global Carbon Tax and Global Wealth Tax, corporations / wealthy individuals will likely shift their pollution / money from one jurisdiction to another, and the only thing we can do is attempt to play "whack-a-mole".  

Most people agree that Global Warming and Inequality are two of the largest problems we face today.

Unfathomable amounts of wealth and resources are being sucked up and deposited in lower tax nations and offshore bank accounts.  We have more than enough money to tackle urgently needed action on climate change and inequality.  An agreed upon global carbon tax and global wealth tax, similar to the minimum 15% corporate tax that was recently agreed to by the 136 OECD countries (representing over 90% of worlds output), is the surest way to redirect money.

We need to start a shift from the bad things that are plaguing our world (extreme personal wealth/greed, billionaire vanity projects and polluting the environment with impunity), to the good things we need (global cooperation on environmental standards and targets, funding for both large scale and locally driven environmental projects).

We need global cooperation on both types of taxes, to redistribute to a fairer, greener society.  The Market will not solve this by itself.  Please share/promote if you can.

Thank you
