> If the world's 3 largest polluters (even if two of them are heavily investing in GreenTech) who represent ~54% of global emissions are not interested in the conversation Even if India and China went 0 carbon today the world will continue heating due to historic emissions. The US and Europe account for 54% of cumulative CO2 emissions. [1] Not to mention there would be no conversation without China's manufacturing prowess that has made solar panels and batteries so cheap. > the larger countries know they can eat the cost of climate change I'm curious how you think India will "eat the cost" of losing most of its freshwater.[2] And if think you it's feasible to do so (which again, I don't see how), then it's even more important that they develop their economy to "eat the cost" right? You can't fault them for doing everything they can to grow their economy. It's not like anyone else is going 0 carbon either, and they're the most vulnerable large country. 1. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-co2-emissions-... 2. https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/himalayas-melting-c... |
