Donald Trump is right that China and India shouldn't be allowed to increase their pollution. Everyone should be cutting, and targeting the same level of per-capita pollution. But that implies that the US (and Australia and some others) would have to invest trillions of dollars in order to reach the per-capita pollution levels of other countries. But that's not on the table, because for some americans, who currently holds power, it's not acceptable to temporarily sacrifice even a little bit of economy or convenience for the planet. One reason why it's not reasonable for China or India to cut more, is because the US and others isn't willing to match them on per-capita pollution. (Well, they are cutting, and will probably match China over time, but not at a reasonable pace). Imagine you're some dude in a district in India, and there's some coal, and you want to start burning it to get some energy. Then the US comes over and says "no, fuck you, you can't burn that, because not only have I been shitting all over the planet for the last several decades, I want to continue shitting over it and not make too much effort of reducing it. You can't burn that in part because we have this cheap power plant over here that we don't want to spend any money replacing". Does that feel fair? If the US actually had to sacrifice something significant, it would perhaps feel fair for people from developing countries to have to halt their economic development by a decade or so in order to skip coal and go directly to solar etc.
