As for climate change, it is clearly happening, and the morality that says those better off should contribute most to sorting the nation's economy is the same morality that better off nations should lead in trying to minimise the affects on the human race. Particularly persuasive for nations that contributed and benefitted most from industry following the industrial revolution that strongly appears to be the cause of much of the problem. The only real debate should be the details of everyone's budget, what can be allocated where, what can't, and by whom.

A very naive lefty view that in truth is totally wrong. The rich go to make money where it is easiest to to. If you have punitive taxes and/or tons of red tape they simply go elsewhere. Yes, someone may take up the slack but it wont be anywhere near the scale.
And once you have scared off the rich then taxes have to rise for the remaining people and guess what suddenly there is no spare cash and the economy tanks.
It has happened many times around the World but the far left still cant see it.
