Historically the west has pumped out more CO2, but we are not talking about historic levels, we are talking about current and future levels as those are what we can do something about. And here China and India is going to be the main issue in the growing CO2 production. This has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with physics. We haven't made great renewables for the same reason we haven't made flying cars: the tech is too far advanced for what we can do. |

That's the problem. We need to talk about it. The west is causing a disproportionate amount of emissions despite the climate emergency, and still their citizens are blissfully unaware and ignorant. That's obviously unfair so justice is relevant here. Talking educates people and allows them to do something about it.
Yes it's going to be an issue, but nothing can be done about it. For poor countries like India, industrialization with climate consequences is still way better than poverty!
