We’re running out of backstops.

Much less CO2 can be safely stored underground than we thought, scientists warn

If we simply dump ongoing fossil fuel emissions underground, we may run out of space…

www.newscientist.com/article/2494...

We may have 10 times less carbon storage capacity than we thought

Storing carbon dioxide underground is seen as a way to mitigate climate change, but the world could run out of safe storage space within 200 years if we keep on burning fossil fuels

We find that this recycling scheme is more efficient and equitable than subsidising energy prices for all

We use a general equilibrium model to analyse carbon tax revenue recycling that combines labour tax cuts and targeted transfers to the poorest households

🚨New Paper🚨
Would people support global redistributive policies?
Surveys in 20 countries show strong majority support for:
- global climate policies
- a global wealth tax
- a global democratic assembly
- transfers from high- to low-income countries

To help decision-makers achieve this, future research must provide inequality metrics whenever appropriate, to build a more robust quantitative assessment of those effects

The channels through which this occurs include economy wide effects, decreasing agricultural revenues, and decreasing labour productivity

These results are valid across all types of physical impacts (temperature, precipitation, sea level rise, extreme events), assessment methods (econometric, simulation, etc), economic sectors and types of inequality (GDP, household income, consumption)

The evidence gathered from 127 peer reviewed papers shows that climate change impacts increase economic inequalities and disproportionately affect the poor, both globally and within countries on all continents
