Because climate change affects the entire planet, and you also happen to live here? I understand the US likes to view itself as a role model for developing nations, but just because the US is doing shitty things doesn't mean everyone else has to follow suit. It might not seem "fair", but mass extinctions and catastrophic weather events don't take "fair" into account.
- shripadk 10y agoBut you don't get the point I made in the previous reply that even if India went 100% clean energy it won't have any impact on fixing/reversing climate change. India's emission per capita is only 1.8t. US and Europe account for 16.5t and 6.7t. You want to fix the planet, fix Western policies. Don't look at developing countries to lead the way.
