insensitive

The ecosystem doesn’t actually care whose feelings are hurt, you know. It’s a weird argument to make. China is the single largest emitter of CO2, plastic waste in the oceans, etc etc. Yet we expect them to do nothing about it until 2030 at the earliest, but just stay on their upward trend. Which is about the same time as the ecosystem collapses entirely according to AOC. But we mustn’t be “insensitive” about it!

Well I suppose they could split their country, that would lower the emissions of the individual parts and might bring them down to the US level easily.

(Not that they'd be interested in that, but still.)
