Summary of How it will play out and Why digital Ids will become real.
ok, we've asked why and what is going on, so I'll explain it. To fix climate change it is necessary to leave much of the oil and coal in the ground. World governments have accepted there is only so much more fossil fuel we can burn, hence they will be phased out , in Europe and America over the next 20 years. developing nations will be permitted to use fossil fuel until they reach parity. And that is how things will be done, and as part of this plan, individuals in developed nations will have Digital Identities.
Each person will have an individual carbon budget hence each person will have equal rights to their part of the planet's carbon budget. You will be able to sell your budget in the market to the highest bidder, making it possible fly long distance. For these measures to work, Digital Ids will be used to account for carbon usages.And that's how it is going to be shortly.And it will be done on a like it or lump it basis.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is what it is...
