Saving energy means stopping growth. The West stopping growth while China, India, etc. grow uncontrollably because they don't give a crap about the stupid climate plight will be our downfall.
India? Average Indian emits 1/10th of what an average american does!
This is hypocracy, ignorance, and whataboutism
China is on track to meet it's climate goals, 90% of electric busses in the world operate there, they have been top investor in renewables for many years. And they are still growing.
Why do you never mention gulf states that emit 10 times more than an average french person does.
Meanwhile UK has refused planning permissin for 24 privately funded and paid for solar farms because they look ugly, banned onshore wind because it looks ugly and getting applorval for simplest construction project takes 4 years.
No problem if china or india gives a crap about the climate... the climate very much too gives a crap about them so they will HAVE to do something if enough people starve and enough infrastructure is destroyed by catastrophes
Who cares about India or China or whatever. They're all gonna die if they don't change their ways.
The climate plight will be our downfall, but not because of silly squabbles like you describe, but because the mindset you have is inherently extinctionist.
Uncontrollable growth is a characteristic of cancer, not something to aspire to.
this is the wrong take. you can have as much energy as you want. you just need better politicians.
so your political actors failed. own up to it and replace them.
