Wealthy individuals emit far more carbon dioxide than everyone else, and this DW film sets out to show exactly how much. Climate researcher Hans Joachim Schellnhuber of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research argues that basic fairness would cap every person's emissions at three tons of CO2 a year by 2050, a fraction of the eight to ten tons an average German produces now, let alone the hundreds or thousands of tons some millionaires generate. The film follows wealthy subjects who show little interest in changing course, including one who flies by private jet and another who drives a gas-guzzling sports car for recreation. Schellnhuber pitches a solution: individual carbon budgets paired with a trading system, so people who need more can buy allowances from those who use less. German Economy and Climate Minister Robert Habeck, interviewed on camera, pushes back, saying individual budgets aren't his policy focus. The film lays out the inequality in plain numbers and lets the policy disagreement play out unresolved.
