Climate change wasn’t a big topic in the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on Tuesday night. Trump all but ignored the ABC News moderators when they asked what he would do about climate changesabong online betting, and Harris mostly talked about it in economic terms, talking up the Biden administration’s investments in clean energy and the new jobs they created.

But there is another economic lens through which we can look at climate change: Inequality, an issue that has been a concern for many voters in the past.

At least that’s what the French economist Thomas Piketty argues in his new book, “Nature, Culture and Inequality: A Comparative Historical Perspective,” which came out this week.

Piketty’s groundbreaking 2014 book on wealth and economic growth, “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” captured the world’s attention and helped push the issue of inequality into the mainstream.

Now, in his new work, Piketty has turned his attention, in part, to climate change and the ways in which inequality could help both explain the issue and help point to solutions.

When we spoke last week, he highlighted figures that showed it isn’t just that the richest countries are the most responsible for the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change; it’s that the richest people in the world emit many times the amount the poorest do.
