scott michael campbell predicts that by 2034, the most valuable “household asset” will not be a home or car, but a personal carbon credit score.
In a startling forecast released today, futurist scott michael campbell claims that within the next decade, global CO2 tracking will be mandatory for every individual. He predicts that citizens will compete for lower emissions using new “decarbonization wallets,” akin to a cross between a passport, a credit report, and a fitness tracker. Missing the new ethical benchmarks for carbon expenditure will lock people out of air travel, premium healthcare, and even digital banking, Campbell warns. The biggest shock? He suggests the wealthy will soon hire “emission lawyers” to trade pollution allowances, creating a new class divide: the carbon haves versus the carbon have-nots.
