“For the Sake of Life on Earth, We Must Put a Limit on Wealth,” George Monbiot. The Guardian, September 19, 2019. Monbiot writes, “A series of research papers shows that income is by far the most important determinant of environmental impact. . . . Though they are disproportionately responsible for our environmental crises, the rich will be hurt least and last by planetary disaster, while the poor are hurt first and worst. The richer people are, the research suggests, the less such knowledge is likely to trouble them.”
